Hunting in South Fork
Aspen Ridge Cabins serves as a great basecamp for three big-game hunting units offering trophy elk and deer: Units 76, 79 and 80. These are draw-only units for deer, so check with the Colorado Division of Wildlife for limited license application deadlines (no over-the-counter deer licenses are available for these units).
Licenses are also available for: Bear, Moose, Pronghorn, Mountain Lion, Bighorn Sheep and a variety of small game, water fowl, and birds.
