On The Ground
This is also known as the Boysen hunt area, and has a lot of BLM land with some sections of private property scattered throughout the area.
Good numbers of mule deer and whitetail can be found throughout the unit. Big bucks of both species have been taken here over the past few years with herd numbers continuing to grow.
Terrain
The bigger mountains can be found in the north end of the unit, with hills gradually getting higher in elevation that can help hunters cover a lot of ground on foot or on horse. Areas near Boysen Reservoir and Ocean Lake have slight rolling hills with some buttes.
Roughly 420 square miles
44.3% public land
Elevations from 4,757-8,035 feet
Vegetation
Most of the unit is covered with sagebrush and prairie grass with scattered juniper trees in the northern part of the unit. The areas around the lakes and reservoir have private irrigated ranch land and willow bushes near the irrigation ditches.
Access
Maintained BLM and two-track roads go through a majority of the unit making scouting and general traveling easier. Access is restricted around the private land in the west.
Camping and Lodging
Most hunters camp on BLM land with no permit needed. Designated camping sites are found around Ocean Lake and Boysen Reservoir. Lodging can be found in the west of the unit in Riverton.
