Colorado hunting Atlas question

[Bearshirt]

When looking at the Colorado hunting atlas for elk information, what do the areas marked resident elk mean? I know this may seem like a obvious question. But Im wondering what exactly does it mean. Is this an area that holds elk all year? Or? Can these be good areas to look for elk?

Thanks for any insight into this

This is a great forum and I have been lurking for a long time and this is my first post

Non-migratory herds.

Yep, exactly right. That herd lives there 12 months per year.
