It runs from the western edge of the BigHorn Mountains across the basin to Cody on the southwest corner, then north to the Montana border. This vast open area is made up of desert country full of sandstone hills and deep washes, but also contains gentle and rolling ground, some of which has been irrigated and converted to farmable acreage.For nonresidents, this area is part of Region X and tags drawn for this area are also valid in: 121, 123, 124, 127
While not being known as a trophy hunting destination, this low elevation area is capable of producing some good bucks.
