On The Ground
Located in the northeast corner of the state, this unit contains a very healthy number of bighorn sheep. With good public access and good numbers of sheep, this unit gives that lucky hunter an incredible hunt for a Rocky Mountain bighorn ram.
Terrain
Located in the corner south of Wyoming and west of Colorado, much of this unit is made up of high desert plateau terrain. This unit consists of flat rolling ridges with creek drainages and valleys that divide them. Flaming Gorge and the Green River have carved a large canyon on the south edge of the unit.
Roughly 69 square miles
