Moose thrive in this unit located near the Island Park Reservoir, stretching south to St. Anthony and west to Camas Meadows.

Moose are taken by hunters every year in this unit because the area is easily accessible and has lots of easy terrain. Both counties with land in this unit have produced trophy-size bulls.

This unit has many miles of conifer forests, ridges, hills, meadows, creek and river bottoms, marshes, lakes, ponds and mountains. The high point in this area is Bishop Mountain at 7,810 feet. The southern tip of the unit has pastures, rangeland and farms that are found between 5,000 and 5,300 in elevation. Foothills that flatten into desert rangeland with farm fields can be found in the western portion of this area with several long lakes and the marshy Camas Meadows. Grassy meadows and brushy openings with a lot of flat timberland cover the northern edge of the unit.

Logged-out sectors and areas where acres of trees have been killed provide the perfect mix of browse and cover for moose. Willows, alders, birch brush and other shrubs grow along many streams, beaver ponds and marshy areas. The forests are timbered by firs, spruces and pines. Crop fields and agricultural land are found in the lowlands.

A network of roads provide good access to the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. The largest private areas are found in Shotgun Valley north of Island Park Reservoir, Camas Meadows on the western edge and the southern end. ATVs and four-wheel-drive vehicles with tire chains are recommended. GPS units are also recommended to have while traveling.

Hunters can camp on National Forest lands along dirt roads. At least 13 campgrounds are in the unit or on its edges. Several lodging options are in Ashton including Squirrel Creek Guest Ranch, Rankin Motel, The Log Cabin Motel, Eagle Peak Lodge, Anglers Motel and two RV parks—Aspen Acres and Fenton. Three Peaks Lodge is located in St. Anthony.
