Colorado GMU 682 deer hunting: 2024 harvest and hunter numbers
Unit 682 covers about 255 square miles in Saguache County.
In 2024, an estimated 19 deer hunters hunted Game Management Unit 682 across all seasons and took 6 deer, a success rate of 32%. The statewide rate that year was 43%.
That is 6 more hunters than 2023, when success was 77%.
2nd rifle was the busiest rifle season, with 10 hunters, about 4 for every 100 square miles of the unit.
Fewer than 100 hunters reported for this unit, so these estimates swing a lot from year to year. Read them as rough.

Where these numbers come from
Colorado Parks and Wildlife surveys license holders after each season and publishes estimates of hunters, harvest and days hunted for every unit. This page uses the 2024 Colorado Deer Harvest Estimates and the 2023 report in the same series. They are estimates from a survey, not counts, and they cover the whole unit.
