On The Ground
Located in the western part of the Uinta Mountain Range, this unit has some good mountain goat hunting. Be prepared physically and you will have a great hunt for a mature billy.
This unit can be a challenge to hunt with its steep rugged mountain peak that the goats call home. A hunter dedicated and prepared to hunt mountain goats will have a chance at a mature Billy.
Terrain
The tops of the mountains are steep and rugged, perfect for mountain goats. Off of the mountain tops 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 and steep drainages there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured.
Roughly 309 square miles
75% public land
Elevations from 6,500-11,900 feet
Vegetation
The low elevations on this unit have grass and sage brush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines, oak brush and the sagebrush continues through this elevation as well. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests.
Access
Much of the unit is part of the Wasatch National Forests, 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 Mirror Lake Highway is one of the primary access points within the unit. There are some sections of private property at middle elevations. The weather can change drastically throughout the day so hunters should be prepared for road conditions to change as well.
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. Heber and a couple other towns spread throughout the unit offer lodging depending on what part of the unit you hunt.
