This unit is the western edge of the Wasatch Range from Draper to Ogden. This unit is open to bowhunting for four months. Anybody with an over-the-counter archery elk tag can take part.

Bowhunters may hunt bulls and cows from mid-August to mid-December. During the last part of the season temperatures are often cold. Elk are found in steep, rugged canyons and on high peaks and ridges and in deep, isolated pockets. This area is good for bowhunters who enjoy the challenge as much as the kill. This can be a tough, crowded hunt with lots of hunters in the field. Hunters must take on online ethics course before hunting.
