The Flat Top Wilderness, Routt and White River National Forests can be found southwest of Steamboat Springs and north of Interstate 70. The Darby Creek herd is estimated to be at 70 bighorns. Resident rifle ram tags are available for this area.

Plan your hunting areas to maximize time on the mountain glassing. The herd is split up into a number of areas that are difficult to reach and hunters should glass a few different locations before finding a trophy. The terrain and altitude of this unit can make this a challenging hunt and you should consider using horses. There is potential for late September snow.
