On The Ground

In the north part of the state, this unit offers a great hunt for elk. With healthy herds of elk in Cache National Forest and good public access, this can be an enjoyable hunt for persistent hunters.

There are some large private ranches that limit hunting access but hunters will generally not find too much trouble in locating elk on public lands.

Terrain

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

  • Roughly 90 square miles

  • 75% public land

  • Elevations from 4,500-9,700 feet

Low elevations have irrigated farm land, sagebrush and oak brush. Continuing up through the middle elevations oak brush can be found, along with sagebrush, aspen, spruce and fir trees. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with steep slopes covered in conifer forests. Most of the high basins are grassy with short sagebrush. Elk can be located at these high timbered elevations that open up into meadows where they can feed.

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 and ATV trails. There are some large private ranches mixed with the public land, so getting hunting access to private land can be difficult.

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