The forests contain a variety of game ranges and habitat. Big game on the forests include elk, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, and black bear. Many hunters use our trails systems to reach their favorite spots. Visit our Hiking page to view trails. Additionally, our Camping & Cabins page provides useful lodging information.

A license is required to hunt in both Colorado and Wyoming. Licenses may be purchased from state game departments and some local retailers. For more information on hunting licenses, game units, and seasons, visit Colorado Parks & Wildlife or Wyoming Game & Fish.
