This area includes the Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area and produces moose that average about 36” in antler width.

Trophy quality, moose numbers and tag quota have gone up and down, but this unit remains a good place to find a moose in the range of 32-40”. A Long season allows hunters to wait for a mature bull.

This unit is around Ririe Reservoir and includes Tex, Birch, Willow creeks and the west side of Mount Baldy. Steep slopes rise above some of the creeks, but a lot of the terrain is made up of flat lands and rolling hills.

Sagebrush and bunchgrass knolls and flats, brushy draws and some timbered draws and slopes provide excellent habitat for moose. Browse plants eaten by moose include chokecherry, serviceberry, snowberry, bitterbrush, bigtooth maple, buffaloberry, currant, river birch, willow, alder, young aspens and mahogany. The main trees are aspens, curl-leaf mahoganies, junipers and Douglas firs with a few lodgepole pines.

A lot of lodging options are in nearby towns and cities, including Idaho Falls. Hotel on the Falls is on the west bank of the Snake River near the falls. Camping is allowed at Juniper Campground near Ririe Reservoir. Six campgrounds are on the Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area.

Hunters enjoy good road access to Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area. About 30 miles of roads and 25 miles of trails are maintained in the WMA. County roads provide access to most other parts of state and BLM land in the unit.
