With decent antelope numbers and a low amount of tags issued every year, the Puddle Valley unit provides a quality hunt. Antelope can be found in many areas with some good numbers concentrated near-stock ponds and guzzlers on the southeast end of the unit. Scouting prior to the hunt is highly recommended. Some hunters will focus on the west end of the unit along the Hill Air Force Test Range hoping to catch a big goat crossing the unit boundary.

This unit has good public land with the antelope spread out on the unit. Hunters will find small pockets of antelope in groups of 5-10 animals. This is an easy hunt physically, with good areas to glass and a lot of roads throughout the unit.

Some antelope terrain will be low elevation marshland, while other antelope terrain will be low-elevation flats with some grassy, rolling hills. The Grassy, Lakeside, and Greyback Mountain ranges are located within this unit. All of these mountain ranges are relatively small with elevations ranging from 5,000-6,000 feet above sea level. There are some isolated drinkers and stock ponds that the antelope will use as a water source. The western boundary is the Hill Air Force Base Test and Training Range with no access to the general public.

High elevations contain a few pinyon/junipers with the mid-to-low elevations consisting of sagebrush, grasses, cactus, and other low-elevation desert browse. There are a few springs and stock ponds found within the unit. The Great Salt Lake is located to the east with some salt flats located in the unit.

This unit has great access with Interstate 80 acting as the southern boundary. There are multiple access roads that hunters can use from I-80. The Puddle Valley Highway runs the length of the unit from the north to the south. From the Puddle Valley road hunters can access a number of other roads that will cover the entire unit. Many of the dirt roads are not maintained but are in good condition.

Wendover and Stansbury Park have lodging, gas, groceries, and other supplies hunters might need. Camping permitted on most public land.
