Castle Peak, Eagle County, Central Colorado. Here's the terrain, access, and license picture, plus how to hunt it under pressure.
Low elevations are pinyon-juniper and sagebrush, mid elevations hold Douglas fir, aspen, grass meadows and sage, and north slopes and high country carry spruce-fir giving way to steep talus ridges.
Private land blocks or complicates access in parts of the unit, so entry points into the public timber matter more than in wide-open units.
Pin down legal public access first, then work the timbered north slopes and the sage-to-timber transition at first and last light where elk move between feed and cover.
ScoutIQ forecasts daily elk movement inside your unit, with a confidence score on every call.
