On The Ground
Located in northern Utah, in part of the Uinta Valley and the Wasatch Mountains. This unit has good public access, good numbers of mule deer and moderate terrain giving hunters an enjoyable hunt for a mature mule deer buck.
This is a Limited Entry hunt on a general deer unit. With the late-season dates, this could be a great hunt during the early stages of the rut. There is also good public access in this unit.
Terrain
On top of the mountain range there are large meadows and flats. Off of the mountain there are steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foot hills. With all the ridges, foothills and drainages there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not be as pressured.
Roughly 1,128 square miles
53% public land
Elevations from 5,500-10,000 feet
Vegetation
Roughly 1,128 square miles of low elevations in this unit have dry, desert rolling hills and flats. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines and oak brush while sagebrush continues through this elevation as well. Higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with steep slopes covered in conifer forests.
Access
Much of this area is part of the Ashley and Uinta 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 and ATV trails. There are some large sections of private land and tribal land mixed throughout the unit that limit access.
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 some designated campgrounds open to the public. Heber, Duchesne, and Price have lodging depending on what part of the unit you want to hunt.
