Unit 101 covers the rolling country between Colorado Springs and Pueblo—the I-25 corridor strung between two cities and the high plains country east of it. Elevations 4,800 to 5,800 feet. The terrain is short-grass and sage prairie with scattered yucca, dryland wheat sections, and PJ-and-juniper benches climbing onto the broken country toward the Black Forest divide on the west and the breaks of Fountain Creek and Chico Creek on the east. Pronghorn are the dominant species and densities are good in average years. Mule deer hold the PJ benches, the cottonwood-and-elm draws, and the higher rolls where cover thickens. Some elk wander in from the foothills along the western edge. Public ground includes Pueblo State Park (limited hunting), parts of the Aiken Canyon Preserve (no hunting), Chico Basin Ranch (private leased program), and a meaningful set of Walk-In Access entries each year (El Paso and Pueblo county WIA listings are worth pulling). The Chico Basin and surrounding ranches are some of the largest contiguous private holdings in southern Colorado—gates are often locked but the leased-access economy does work for hunters with budget. I-25 is the main north-south spine; US-50 cuts the southern edge through Pueblo. Colorado Springs and Pueblo both offer full services—gas, lodging, processors, gear shops. Cell service is excellent on I-25 and patchy off the pavement. Hunting pressure is moderate to heavy near the cities and tapers fast on private ground east. The country is windy and exposed, but the road network makes it a workable DIY pronghorn unit if you do the WIA homework or land a handful of permissions.
