Teller County for Hunters

Teller County units, point rules and CWD

Seasons here follow 3 game management units, not the county line; GMU 511 is the biggest piece at near 36%. None of these units lies wholly inside Teller County; each one carries on into a neighbouring county. Unit edges are roads, drainages and divides named in the brochure text; the percentages here are GIS measures, and the written description decides where a unit stops.

CPW lists GMUs 511, 581, 59 as antler point restriction units; count four points or measure the brow tine before shooting. CWD testing is optional for hunts in Teller County: its units are not on the mandatory elk list, and deer testing is not required in 2026. Mountain lion hunting runs November 23, 2026 to March 31, 2027 in harvest-limit groups; the county touches group 8 (limit 30) and group 11 (limit 9), and each group closes when its limit is reached. Leave sheds on public ground west of I-25 until May 1. OTC spring gobbler hunting is open in GMUs 511, 581, 59.

GMU shares from the CPW GMU boundary layer over Census county lines; boundaries in the 2026 Big Game brochure GMU descriptions; point rule from brochure p. 36; CWD units from brochure p. 41; lion groups from the 2026-2027 Mountain Lion brochure; turkey lists from the 2026 Turkey brochure; shed closure from brochure p. 12.

Teller County acres by owner

The overlay finds about 157,830 public acres here, or 44.3% of the land area; the top category is forest Service land. Do not assume State Land Board land is open: only the CPW-leased parcels are. Acres with a star are left out of the public figure; hunting there depends on park, base or lease rules. Acreages come from overlaying map polygons and will not match agency totals exactly.
