On The Ground

Area 24 is located in western Wyoming, south of the Hoback Rim. This area is known for its high success and holds some of the largest bulls in the state. The terrain allows hunters to glass a lot of area from high vantage points.

This hunt area has large herds and a few bulls that score over 160” B&C. Bulls during the beginning of the archery season will be focused on looking for cows. Locate moose by glassing during the archery and rifle seasons.

Terrain

This area is made up of mainly long, deep canyons with conifers and sagebrush ridge sides. Bridger Teton National Forest has the highest point in the unit.

  • Roughly 385 square miles

  • 100% public land

  • Elevations from 7,000-9,700 feet

Some tributaries and creek drainages can be found in this area. Rivers and streams have riparian habitat with willows, cottonwoods, shrubs, grasses and forbs. The vegetation on mid elevation canyon walls and faces transitions into grasses and timber pockets. Typical trees in this area include lodgepole pine, subalpine fir, whitebark pine and limber pine. Native grasses, forbs and some sagebrush are found throughout mid elevations. Wet meadow grasses, forbs and sedges can be found at higher elevations.

The majority of Area 24 consists of National Forest land with a few ranch lands with good public access. Most roads in this unit are marked with Forest Service signs. This area is located east of the Greys River, west of the Bridger Teton National Forest boundary and north of LaBarge Creek Road.

  • ATVs and UTVs are helpful, but are restricted to marked roads and trails

  • Four-wheel drive and chains are recommended during late season hunts when snow is likely

Hunters can camp on the National Forest land within the unit with no permit required. Lodging at multiple motels can be located just south of the unit in Pinedale.
