Quick Tips
- Elk can generally be glassed from roads
- Be sure to secure private access before heading to the unit
On The Ground
Most of this unit is private farm and rangeland near the Idaho border and contains parts of several towns. Elk hunting here is largely centered around herds moving into these agricultural areas where the state wishes to control population numbers.
Hunters looking for opportunity will not find much here unless private access can be secured.
Terrain
This area is mostly farmland, river bottoms, sagebrush, and a small mountain range that is north and west of the Bear River. Newton, Little Mountain, and Newton Reservoir are in the southern end, and Bergeson and Big Hills can be found west of Cornish and south of Idaho.
Roughly 68 square miles
0% public land
Elevations from 4,400-5,700 feet
Vegetation
The main cover in this area is made up of a mixture of native and exotic grasses and forbs, sagebrush, and farm crops like alfalfa and grains. Draws and marshy areas usually have bulrushes, cottonwoods, Russian olives, cattails, and willows. The hills are mostly covered with sagebrush and oak brush with the occasional juniper and aspen stand.
Access
With this area being almost entirely private the largest hurdle for hunters to overcome will simply be securing private access.
Camping and Lodging
Modern Lodging options can be found throughout the unit with most of the options found in Logan. Groceries and other amenities can also be found throughout the unit.
