Morgan-South Rich

This unit consists primarily of isolated forests of lodgepole pines, quaking aspen, and pockets of firs intermingled with thick growth of Gambel oak and mountain sage which dominate much of the lower-elevation landscapes. Although water sources provide heavy undergrowth of grasses and shrubbery in most of the unit, areas to the north and east can appear dry and resemble parched vegetation, especially in the fall and winter months. Moose are often found in thick cover of Gambel oak near water sources and in high mountain meadows.

A lot of this unit consists of private hunting ranches that require a special permit to hunt. Focus near bordering tracts of private land in locating bulls that might move between private and public properties. Make sure to have an updated map on where the public land leads into private. Hunters who are searching for trophy bulls are well-advised to contact guides and landowners about purchasing trespass permits or hiring outfitters with access to large expanses of private property within the unit. Public walk-in access areas are restricted to foot or horse travel and can be found south of Croydon, east of Morgan, and north of Causey Reservoir.

Hunters can pay a small daily fee to camp at designated campsites at Causey, Echo, or Pineview Reservoirs and Lost Creek State Park. Hunters can also camp along the South Fork of the Weber River. Lodging can be found in Coalville, Huntsville, Kamas and Evanston, WY.
