The country

Classic Colorado high country with heavy timber, open slopes, alpine lakes and steep ground; vegetation climbs from sage to oak and mountain brush, then aspen, evergreen timber and alpine tundra.

Access and pressure

Largely public land where hunters have little trouble finding places to hunt, with a good number of roadless areas; upper roads can become impassable by third season.

How to hunt Unit 34

Key on the roadless pockets to get away from pressure, and hunt the aspen-timber transition and open slopes at first and last light.
