On The Ground
Located in the Northeastern corner of the state, this unit has some great habitat to grow mature Shiras bull moose. With limited tag numbers and over a month to hunt, it is a true hunt of a lifetime.
The lucky hunter that draws one of the tags for this unit will have a great hunt, but mature bull moose aren't easy to come by. A hunter willing to put the time in will have the chance to see a nice, mature bull.
Terrain
Leading out of the farm ground in Cache Valley the steep Bear River Mountain Range rises to its rugged heights. Along the mountain range are steep creek drainages leading down to the foothills rolling out of the valleys.
Roughly 1,833 square miles
52% public land
Elevation from 4,500 feet to 10,000 feet
Vegetation
Low elevations are irrigated farm land, sage brush, and oak brush. Continuing up through the middle elevations are oak brush, sage brush 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.
Access
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 4-wheel drive roads or ATV trails. The Mount Naomi Wilderness is closed except to foot and horse traffic only.
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. There are a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. There are some large private ranches mixed in with the public land, getting hunting access to the private can be difficult. Logan is located at the south end of the unit and offers lodging and services.
