One of the largest sheep units in Utah with its new boundaries, this unit holds some of the best Rocky Mountain bighorns in the state. The unit was closed for a few years following a bad die-off, but it is recovering with the State of Utah offering one tag as of 2014.

Avintaquin boundaries were combined with this unit for 2018. With a large, heavily forested unit, sheep can be hard to find. In the past some of the largest rams in the state have been harvested from this unit. The hunt is better later when the rut is going on.

One of the larger units in the state, this unit has a huge variation in terrain and habitat. There is a mountain range, the Wasatch Plateau, which runs north and south down through the entire west side of the unit. On top of the mountain range there are large meadows and flats. There are steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foothills. With all the ridges, foothills and drainages, there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured.

Much of the unit is part of the Manti-LaSal National Forest or desert land managed by the BLM, giving great public access. There are several CWMUs on the unit that prohibit hunting. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained four-wheel-drive roads or ATV trails.

The low elevations on this unit are dry, desert rolling hills, flats, and canyon country. These elevations also contain some grass, prickly-pear cactus, and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines and oak brush, while sagebrush continues through this elevation. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests. The mountain tops have large grassy meadows with scattered ponds, thick aspen and conifer forest.

Most hunters camp along roads as there are several locations that have good, flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. There are a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. There are a few small towns spread throughout the unit that offer lodging.
