On The Ground
Located in the northeast corner of the state, this unit holds some great bulls. With good public access, good numbers of elk, and moderate terrain this unit gives hunters an enjoyable hunt.
Managed for trophy bulls, this unit offers hunters a chance at a good bull. With limited tag numbers and a large unit, hunters can be selective when choosing which bull to harvest. There is a premium tag available that allows hunting during all seasons. This area also has good public access.
Terrain
Located in the corner south of Wyoming and west of Colorado, much of this unit is made up of high desert plateau terrain. Flat rolling ridges with creek drainages and valleys dividing them up. Flaming Gorge and the Green River have carved a large canyon on the south edge of the unit. Stock ponds, guzzlers, creeks, and springs are located throughout the unit.
