On The Ground
This unit consists mainly of the Bear River valley south of Bear Lake. The huntable area extends east to the Wyoming border and west to the face of the Wasatch Mountains. Hunters will see a fairly high presence of private land here along with some landlocked public. Good access mixed with a healthy population density can make this a fun hunt.
This is a unit with high numbers of antelope spread throughout the area. There is a fair amount of public land in this area, but most of the antelope can be found in the low elevation farmland. This can be an easy hunt physically with good access to high numbers of antelope.
Terrain
The majority of the antelope terrain will be low elevations flats with sagebrush. Pinyon/juniper patches checker the flats and small hills. There are some isolated drinkers and stock ponds that antelope use for a water source. Hunters can glass and cover large tracts of country in this unit.
Roughly 3,398 square miles
37% public land
Elevations from about 4,100-11,483 feet
Vegetation
The vegetation found in this unit could almost be broken into east and west. To the west, the lower elevations have farmland leading through rolling foothills covered in grass, sagebrush and oak brush. Middle elevations are also covered in oak brush and sagebrush. Higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with steep slopes covered in conifer forests. To the east, there is some farmland along the Bear River and in canyon bottoms next to Bear Lake. Alfalfa and grass hay are the main crops, and they attract antelope. The hills and mountains on this side of the unit are arid and typically covered with sagebrush, with some draws and slopes covered with junipers. Mountain mahogany and aspens grow in some places. Serviceberry, bitterbrush, chokecherry, elderberry, willows and maple brush provide browse.
Access
A large portion of the unit is covered by large private ranches, and most of them offer guided hunts or trespass permits for a fee. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained four-wheel-drive roads and ATV trails.
Main roads of access will include Highway 30, Highway 16, and Monte Cristo Rd
ATV’s can be very beneficial for travel
Camping and Lodging
Most hunters camp along roads -there are several areas that have good flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents, as well as a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. Modern lodging is available in Laketown located on the northern end of the unit. Sporting goods and groceries can be found here, although specialty gear needs will need to be met prior to the hunt.
