CO unit 17

[roosterstraw]

Hey guys, my dad and I are driving to Colorado this fall to hunt elk second rifle season. It will be a 24 hour drive so I'm looking to get all the information I can. I've scowered the internet and can't find much information on this unit. Does anyone have any experience with unit 17? I specifically have been looking at the grassy run/buffalo creek area. Has anyone hunted here or near it that could me out. Thanks!

Welcome to the site roosterstraw!  :welcome:


Unfortunately I've never hunted Unit 17, so not much help there. Hopefully someone who has hunted there will chime in.


Have you taken a look at the CPW Hunting Atlas? If not, check it out here: https://ndismaps.nrel.colostate.edu/index.html?app=HuntingAtlas


You can use the map layers on the left to look at things like forest service roads, elk summer and winter ranges, migration corridors, etc.

Good luck!

Curious as to why you all are headed to 17? Is it the closest unit to you guys for OTC tags?

I picked this unit strictly off statistics of success and hunters in the area.
