Formerly part of the main Unit 73, this new unit has experienced growth in the moose population enough that the state is now offering separate tags for this area.

Moose populations have been steadily growing in this area to a point where the state is now able to offer some hunting opportunuities.

This unit is largely comprised of the Deep Creek Mountains. The central portion of the unit is very mountainous but the surrounding low lands are largely private. Vegetation can be heavy on north-facing slopes but south-facing aspects are generally open and great for glassing.

Low country is made up of agricultural land separated by draws and washes full of sagebrush and grass with willows and riparian brush along creeks. Some foothills are covered by sagebrush and maple brush with juniper woodlands and patches of aspens. Mountains are open on western and southern exposures and timbered or heavily brushed on north and east exposures. Firs, pines, spruces and aspens grow in the mountains. Serviceberry, snowberry, chokecherry, bitterbrush, elderberry and sagebrush are the main browse plants, while dense bigtooth maple brush provides excellent cover for deer and elk.

The central portion of the unit is largely public and will provide the best opportunities for access. Many of the low lying lands around the central mountain portions are private but will hold moose. If successful in the draw, consider contacting landowners for hunting or access permission.

There are not any easy modern lodging options to be found in the unit and most hunters will opt for primitive camping options throughout the unit.
