This unit is made up of the scenic mountains in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, just south of Yellowstone National Park. The majority of this unit is wilderness, leaving the DIY nonresident hunter with only a few options along the southern edge of the unit. This is some rough and nasty country, but the animals are plentiful. Definitely known for being grizzly country, so hunters should take that into consideration.

This is a rugged and steep area with elk found throughout. This is a large area with a lot of country to hunt and is a good place for hunters to find good bulls. Those willing to put in the effort should have no problem in finding success.

This unit goes from the Grand Teton National Park valley floor and east to the mountaintops along the Continental Divide. Terrain is more gently contoured at lower elevations and gets more steep and rugged with higher elevations, and timberline at about 10,000 feet.

Wilderness

Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.

Low and middle elevations have grassy and sage-covered meadows and hills mixed with Douglas fir and aspen. Higher up near timberline, the country has thick spruce fir forest, with a lot of grassy slopes, meadows and basins.

Public access here is very limited. Hunters can find access in Pacific Creek and the Buffalo Valley Road, and there are not a lot of secondary roads. The unit is covered by a large trail system. Packing in with horses or backpack hunting is recommended, but day hunts are possible as well. This area is bordered by Grand Teton National Park and Pacific Creek on the west. Yellowstone National Park and Continental Divide are on the north and east, and U.S highway 287 can be found on the south. Almost all of this unit is in the Teton Wilderness area. Some popular trailheads within this unit are Pacific Creek, Lava Creek and North Buffalo Fork.

Jackson is the closest town and has a lot of options for lodging. Grocery stores, gas stations and other stores are also available. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. There are several designated campgrounds found throughout the unit. Hunters can also camp in remote locations.
