Wyoming is famous for having the best Shiras moose hunting in the West. Although the populations has declined over the years, a day without seeing a moose in this unit is still rare.

There is good public access in the Greys River- Salt River area. This is a great hunt with an opportunity to take a very good bull.

The terrain in this area varies from deep, narrow valleys to towering peaks. Upper elevations are composed of grassy meadows, some pine pockets and open rocky faces. Mid elevations are made up of patches of timbered pine pockets and open grassy faces. The creeks and river bottoms found in this area are mostly timbered. Moose in this area are typically found near river and creek drainages.

Several major creeks and rivers are found in this area. The river and streams provide riparian habitat with a diversity of willows, cottonwoods, shrubs, grasses and forbs. Moving up in elevation vegetation transitions into open grassy slopes. Some sagebrush exists throughout the mid elevations along with heavily timbered slopes and pockets of lodgepole pine, subalpine fir, and Douglas fir. At the higher elevations there are wet meadow grasses, forbs and sedges.

There is good public access in this area. Hunting by vehicle is the common technique in this area, with roads typically running by the rivers and creeks. Highway 89 runs north and south through the western part of the unit and has maintained forest service roads branching off of it. Forest Road 10038 runs down the eastern side of the unit with many other forest roads branching and leading to 2-tracks and trail heads.

Some hunters will camp on Forest Service land with no permit required. The chance to drive to town at the end of the hunting day and stay at a hotel is easily accessible if desired. The town of Afton or Alpine have multiple options for gas, lodging and food.
