On The Ground
A small unit north of Wendover and named after the only mountain range on the unit, can be a difficult area to hunt. This area is an interstate unit that allows hunters access to Nevada's unit 091. There are elk and mature bulls on the unit but they migrate searching for water during drought years.
This area has good public access and good elk numbers.
Terrain
Located in the northwest corner of the state, this unit has a lot of desert country. The valley floor leads up through different creek drainages and rolling foothills to the steeper mountain ridges. Pilot Mountain range is the only range in the unit.
Roughly 471 square miles
73% public land
Elevation from 4,200 feet to 8,000 feet
Vegetation
With little terrain variation, the main vegetation on the unit is grass, sagebrush, pinyon pines, and junipers. Continuing up through the middle elevations sagebrush and conifer forests start to mix in along with mahogany.
Access
There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained 4-wheel drive roads or ATV trails. There is a mix of private and public land throughout the unit, so access can be limited. Nevada and Utah allow hunters to hunt both sides of the state line, within the two units.
ATVs recommended
4-Wheel drive recommended
Camping and Lodging
Most hunters camp along roads, there are several locations that have good, flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. Wendover is on the south side of the unit and offers lodging. Grouse Creek and Montello, Nevada also offer services.
Arrive early for better camping locations
