Located in south-central Wyoming and made up of high plains desert and timbered buttes and draws, this unit contains expansive amounts of BLM and State lands. A small but very healthy herd of elk is found in this area and any hunters holding a tag here will be in for a great hunt.

This large area gives hunters lots of country to hunt and has mild/moderate terrain with elk located mostly in the western portion. This can be a good place for hunters to take mature bulls.

This area stretches from the Sweetwater River valley floor north to the towns of Lander and Arapahoe. The terrain is gently contoured at lower elevations and changes to steeper terrain around Sheep Mountain. In the mountainous area hunters will encounter much more timber and overall tougher hkiking conditions.

Public access in this unit is excellent with roads throughout. Many secondary roads and a few closed roads good for hiking can be found here. Packing in with horses or backpack hunting is not necessary, but can help with accessing more remote locations. Day hunts are more common for this area. The area is bordered by Wyoming Highway 28 on the west, Wyoming Highway 138 on the north, Wyoming Highway 135 on the east and the Sweetwater River on the south.

This is a high desert country unit. Low and middle elevations are made up of a mix of grassy and sage covered plains with long ridges and valleys. Higher elevations are mixed with Douglas fir, willow and aspens.

Lander is the nearest town to the unit and offers several options for lodging, groceries, gas, sporting goods and other amenities. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. There are no designated campgrounds located in the unit, but several are available just to the west. Hunters can also camp in remote locations.
