Hunting Colorado: GMUs 80, 81 & 83

Species covered: elk

Colorado's wildlife officer's pride themselves on knowing their districts better than anyone else. This knowledge is invaluable for hunters trying to make decisions on where to apply and/or start scouting. In an inclusive effort to better inform hunters, we're happy to be the first state in the nation to offer authentic online content straight from the local game warden's mouth! No script. No wannabe experts. Each officer brings to light answers to the most often asked questions they receive in their district, including access and issues that are germane to that specific portion of Colorado.

Wildlife Officers sometimes transfer districts and for the most updated contact information, hunters should look at the Colorado Hunting Atlas or call the local CPW office.
