On The Ground
This unit is located in northern Utah, in part of the Uinta Valley and the Wasatch Mountains and has good public access. This area has good elk populations and good hard huntign will generally lead to sightings.
Good hard hunting can lead to opportunities in this unit.
Terrain
On top of the mountain range are large meadows and flats with steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foothills. With a varied terrain in the unit, there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured.
Roughly 370 square miles
35% public land
Elevations range from 6,000 - 8,600 feet
Vegetation
The low elevations in this unit have dry rolling hills and flats, with grass, prickly-pear cactus, sagebrush, and scattered pinyons and junipers. Sagebrush continues into the middle elevations, which are also covered in ponderosa pines and oakbrush. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves and steep slopes covered in conifer forests.
Access
A majority of the unit is part of one of three national forests, providing 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. There are some large private pieces of property, many CWMU's, and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation in this unit, which limits access.
Camping and Lodging
Most hunters camp along roads. Several locations have good, flat camping grounds for travel trailers or tents. There some designated campgrounds open to the public. Heber, Duchesne, and Price have lodging depending on what part of the unit you want to hunt.
