Largely private, this unit has the Fish Creek Range and part of the Portneuf Range. Much of the Fish Creek Range is BLM land, while a good percentage of the Portneuf Range is state land.

This is a good place to find bulls ranging from 35-40”. There is a lot of private ground within this area. This area has many brushy slopes that can be glassed late in the season. Some landowners have been open to giving permission to moose hunters.

This mostly private unit stretches past and west of Grace to Bancroft and includes the Fish Creek Range and part of the Portneuf Range, including Cottonwood Peak and Cottonwood Canyon. Both ranges rise above valleys that are 4,800 to 5,500 feet in elevation. Sedgwick Peak is the high point of this unit and is west of Grace. The Fish Creek Range has several ridges that are 6,500 to 8,032 in elevation. Foothills drop gradually to the valleys, which are made up of private pastures and crop fields. Many irrigated fields are found between Thatcher and Bancroft in the east and between Downey and McCammon in the west.

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 fields are in the Conservation Reserve Program, others in dry farm grain and others in irrigated hay. Alfalfa is the dominant crop in this area. Some foothills are covered by sagebrush and maple brush with scattered junipers and patches of aspens. Mountains are open on western and southern exposures and timbered or heavily brushed on north and east exposures. Firs, pines, aspens and spruces grow within the mountains. Serviceberry, chokecherry, bitterbrush and sagebrush are the chief browse plants. Dense bigtooth maple brush provides excellent cover for deer and elk.

Hunters can get within a short hike of most public land on public access roads. Some areas are landlocked by private land, while some public slopes and canyons are hard to reach without hiking a mile or more. Main access roads in the Fish Creek Range are Squaw Creek, North Canyon and Mill Creek Roads which all start near Bancroft. U.S. Highway 30 and are a short hike from the edge of the Petticoat Peak Wilderness Study Area, where no vehicles are allowed. The Cottonwood Creek Road leads to other roads that provide access to public land in the Portneuf Range. Several other roads branch out from Swan Lake, Downey and Grace.

Lodging is available in Preston and Lava Hot Springs. Some hunters camp on BLM or state land in the Fish Creek Range or the Portneuf Mountains.
