On The Ground

Located in the northern part of the state, this unit has healthy herds of mule deer. With good public access and moderate to rough terrain, this area can give hunters an enjoyable hunt for mature bucks.

A general deer unit managed for hunter opportunity, this unit still holds good bucks. A hunter wanting a chance to harvest deer can enjoy this unit. This unit has good public access with remote areas. During the wetter years, deer will be more dispersed throughout the unit.

Terrain

Leading out of farmground in Cache Valley the steep Bear River Mountain Ranges rises to 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

  • Elevations from 4,500-10,000 feet

Low elevations are irrigated farmland, sagebrush and oak brush. Continuing up through the middle elevations are oak brush and sagebrush with aspen, spruce and fir trees. Higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with steep slopes covered in conifer forests. Most of the high basins are grassy with short sagebrush.

Much of the unit is part of the Cache National Forest, giving good 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 and ATV trails. The Mount Naomi Wilderness is closed to foot and horse traffic only.

  • ATVs recommended

  • 4-wheel-drive recommended

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 private land can be difficult. Logan is located at the south end of the unit and offers lodging and services.

  • Arrive early for better camping locations

  • Expect to camp near other hunters
