Located in the northeast corner of the state near Wells, this unit offers good hunting for elk, mule deer and antelope. There are a few mountain ranges, but this area is primarily dry desert with scattered water sources.
Hunters willing to scout and learn the unit can find great animals.
Off of the mountains here, there are creek drainages that lead down to the foothills. Most of the unit is covered in rolling foothills or desert valley floor.
The unit is covered in a checkerboard of private and public land. The public is mainly controlled by the BLM, leaving good public access. There are a few maintained roads leading to different parts of the unit branching into four-wheel-drive or ATV roads.
Higher elevations are covered in conifer and mountain mahogany, along with some pinyon pines, juniper trees and sagebrush. Most of the low lying valleys are covered in sagebrush, winter fat, saltbrush, salt marshes and salt flats with the occasional agricultural field.
Hunters can camp anywhere on public land and there are some good areas to camp along the roads. The nearest town to the unit is Wells and it has lodging and services.
Roughly 895 square miles
