On The Ground

In the north part of the state, this unit has healthy herds of elk. This area can also prove difficult for hunters as the mountains are steep, but with much of the mountains in the Mount Naomi Wilderness, it has good public access.

Managed for trophy bulls, this unit offers hunters the chance at a good bull, but hunters should note that drawing a tag may take a few years. With limited tag numbers and a large unit, hunters can be selective when choosing a bull to harvest. A premium tag is available that allows hunting during all seasons.

Terrain

Leading out of the farm ground in the Cache Valley is Bear River Mountain. Along the mountain range are steep creek drainages leading down to the foothills rolling out of the valleys.

  • Roughly 731 square miles

  • 64% public land

  • Elevations from 4,500-10,000 feet

Low elevations consist of irrigated farmland, sagebrush, and oak brush. Continuing up through the middle elevations oak brush and sagebrush can be found, along with aspen, spruce and fir trees. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests. A lot of the high basins are grassy with short sage brush.

Much of the unit is part of the Cache National Forest, giving great public access. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained four-wheel-drive roads or ATV trails. The Mount Naomi Wilderness is restricted to foot and horse traffic only.

  • ATVs recommended

  • four-wheel drive recommended

  • Long hikes into wilderness area

Most hunters camp along roads, there are several locations that have good, flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. There are a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. Logan is located at the south end of the unit and offers lodging and services.

  • Arrive early for better camping locations

  • Expect to camp near other hunters
