This unit is in the northwest corner of the state and is named after the Grouse Creek Mountains. It is bordered by Nevada on the west and Idaho on the north. Elk live on a mixture of private and public land throughout the unit.

Finding elk can be difficult, so scouting is a must. Having a good pair of binos is also necessary.

This unit has a lot of desert country. The valley floor leads up through creek drainages and rolling foothills to steep mountain ranges. The two main ranges are the Grouse Creek and Raft River mountains.

Low elevations are irrigated farm land, sagebrush, pinyon pines, junipers and some oak brush. Continuing up through the middle elevations, sagebrush is mixed with aspens, and some spruces and firs. Higher country has scattered aspen groves with steep slopes covered in conifer forests. Several high basins are grassy with short sagebrush.

Part of the Sawtooth National Forest gives some public access. There are roads on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained four-wheel drive roads and ATV trails. A lot of private land and some large ranches control some critical water sources.

Most hunters camp along roads on flat places that are good spots to park a travel trailer or set up a tent. A couple of designated campgrounds are open to the public. Wendover is the nearest city, but is more than an hour from the unit.
