Rico Camp Hunts--GMU 071
This camp is a high country/backcountry public land camp in the San Juan National Forest under special use permit from the USFS. This area is part non-motorized and part Wilderness area which limits access unless you know the area well. We hunt mostly on foot and do use horses/mules if needed. This area has been draw for archery elk since 2020 and has a good elk population. Archery bull elk tags and 1st rifle tags bull elk can be drawn with zero points, but 1 point is a lock to draw, but tag numbers are limited. Muzzleloader bull elk takes 1 point to draw. The mule deer quality in this unit is really good but does take a few years to get a tag. This area is steep and rugged but holds a lot of quality animals and is an amazing place to hunt.
