A free Colorado hunting map
Hunting units, who manages the ground, the owner on the county's parcel record, slope, sun and shade, forest roads and trails, on one map that works on your phone. Free this season, with no account.

What is on it
- Three views of the ground. A topographic map, an aerial photo, and the bare ground with the trees taken off.
- Hunting units. Every Colorado big game unit boundary, with its number. Type a unit number to go straight to it.
- Who manages the ground. National forest, Bureau of Land Management, state and private land in different colors.
- Parcel lines and the owner on record. Zoom in for parcel lines. Tap any spot for the owner named on the county's parcel record, the elevation, the unit and the land manager.
- State wildlife areas and walk-in access fields from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
- Forest roads and trails the Forest Service shows as open to vehicles, and Colorado's trail map.
- Slope, the way a slope faces, and contour lines.
- Sun and shade. Pick a day and an hour and see which slopes the sun is on, with sunrise, sunset and legal light for that spot.
- Active fires, and the hour-by-hour wind and weather forecast for any spot you tap.
What you can do with it
- Drop pins and name them.
- Measure a walk by tapping out a line, or the size of a basin by tapping out an area.
- See where you are and how far and which way any spot is from you.
- Record a track of where you walked while the map is open.
- Bring in and save out GPX and KML files, so your pins move between this map and any other map app.
- Save an area for no signal. The topographic map, the aerial photo and the land colors for the ground on screen are kept on your phone.
What it does not do
- It covers Colorado. Units, parcels and state lands are Colorado records.
- Units, parcels, slope, the shade layer, roads, trails, fires and weather need signal. Only the saved map, your position and your own places work without it.
- Track recording runs while the map is open with the screen on. It pauses if the phone sleeps.
- Every layer is somebody's record, and records can be wrong or out of date. A parcel line on a map is not a fence or a sign. When the ground and the map disagree, stay out.
Where the data comes from
Maps, relief, slope and elevation: U.S. Geological Survey. Land management: Bureau of Land Management. Units, state wildlife areas, walk-in access and trails: Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Roads and trails open to vehicles: USDA Forest Service. Parcels: Colorado Public Parcels, Governor's Office of Information Technology. Fires: National Interagency Fire Center. Forecast: National Weather Service.
Your position is read by your own phone and drawn on your own screen. Your pins, lines, areas and tracks are kept on your phone. When you ask what is at a spot, that spot's coordinates go to the agencies that hold the records. Nothing you draw or record is sent to FilledTag.
The map shows the ground. A plan tells you where to go.
The map is free. A FilledTag hunt plan is the paid part: for your tag and where you drive from, one exact plan with a legal place to park, a camp, morning and evening spots and the walk between them, checked against land records.
