Colorado Unit 444 Description

Unit 444 Located in Garfield, Pitkin and Eagle Counties bounded on the North by the Colorado River, Cottonwood Creek, Eagle CR 10A (Cottonwood Pass Rd.), USFS 514 (Red Table Mountain Rd.) and Fryingpan-Eagle River divide; on the East by divide between Lime Creek and North Fork of Fryingpan River and its tributaries and Cross Creek-Homestake Creek drainages; on the South by Ivanhoe Creek and Fryingpan River; on the West by Roaring Fork River.

GMU 444 This area encompasses the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan and Crystal River drainages. The lower elevations (6500’) are primarily developed or agricultural. Timberline is around 11,500’ and there are 14,000’ peaks in the Wilderness Areas. Be prepared for daytime highs of 75F dropping to 20F at night. Snow can exceed several feet in the higher elevations and moisture can make roads dangerous or impassible. 4WD is a necessity. There are large blocks of private lands in the western part of GMU 444.This herd is concentrated in aspen and oakbrush habitats before the snow flies. Hunting pressure does not generally cause herd movement, but they will move to lower elevation woodlands as snow accumulates. Archery and muzzleloader hunters should head to timberline. Early rifle season hunters should focus on high elevation areas around timberline, Capitol Creek, Haystack Mountain and East Snowmass Creek. Later season hunters could try “The Crown”, Holgate Mesa, Williams Hill and Light Hill, but expect to see other hunters in these areas. Some good bucks can be found if hunters focus in areas away from roads. Early seasons find elk anywhere from 7500’ to above timberline. With increased hunting pressure and snow, herds tend to move to remote areas or private lands – away from roads and hunters. The wilderness areas are a good bet for success but hunters must hike or horseback as motorized travel is prohibited. Try Snowmass Creek, Conundrum Creek, Capitol Creek, Avalanche Creek, Difficult Creek, McFarland Creek, Maroon Creek, Thompson Creek, Basalt Mountain, Four-mile, the Marble area, and the upper Frying Pan drainages. Kobey Park and Sloans Peak are good but deep snow and bad roads should be expected, especially later in the seasons.
