The northern half of the unit has exceptional public access with a higher concentration of private lands being found to the south.

There is a lot of good general access to public land here, with a high success rate, making this a great area for DIY hunts. Hunters can also hire outfitters for access to private land.

This area has a lot of different types of grassy and desert-like open prairie with big basins, creek bottoms and rolling hills that are good for putting on stalks. There are also private ranch and farm lands near the Bighorn River that can bring in antelope from the other prairies in the area.

Public access in this unit is good, with several well-maintained roads and smaller two tracks. The gas and oil drilling that goes on here also creates access to roads in certain spots throughout the unit. You can gain access to private land through Walk-In access areas.

Vegetation here is made up of high desert prairie with sagebrush and grasslands. Some rocky bluffs, sagebrush, cedars and small trees can also be found in higher elevations in Copper Mountain and Lysite Mountain.

Thermopolis is the closest town to the unit and has a lot of lodging options. Grocery stores, gas stations and other amenities can be found here as well. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. Hunters can also camp in remote spots in the area.
