On The Ground
Southwest of Cedar City and northwest of St. George and stretching from Interstate 15 to Nevada, this is one of the largest antelope units in the state. The biggest pronghorn ever taken by a bowhunter in Utah was taken here.
A limited number of tags are available for this area. Antelope are usually concentrated in the northern part of the unit. This can be a physically easy hunt around some private land.
Terrain
Most antelope here live on flatlands in the north, where sagebrush, pinyon pines and junipers grow. Hunters can glass long distances from several well-maintained roads. Some land on the valley floor is private, but hunters seldom have problems accessing public land. Pronghorn will feed in some pivot-irrigated alfalfa fields. Farmers often grant hunting permission to polite hunters.
Roughly 2,559 square miles
73% public land
Elevations from about 4,200-10,365 feet
Vegetation
Ponderosa pines and aspens grow in high terrain, while middle-elevation canyon lands have grasses, sagebrush, bitterbrush and scrub oak. Lowlands are mostly covered with sagebrush and oak brush and stands of pinyon pines and junipers.
Access
Road access is good in this unit. Highway 18 runs north and south through the center of the unit. Several maintained dirt roads exist that have few travel restrictions. Some approved trails are also approved for ATV use. Most roads are passable even during adverse weather conditions. Many hunters use Lund Highway and Antelope Springs Road to locate antelope.
Camping and Lodging
Cedar City and Enterprise have lodging, gas, groceries, and other supplies. Camping is permitted on most public land. There are a few campgrounds located in this unit around Pine Valley and Veyo.
