Made up of National Forest in the Bighorn Mountains, some high plains desert and ranch land, this area can be found in the north-central part of the state. There is also a lot of public land in this unit. It is bordered by the U.S. Highway 14 on the north, the Bighorn County line on the east, Wyoming Highway 31 on the south and the Bighorn River on the west.
There is a lot of moderate to rugged terrain here, with elk found mainly on National Forest land. Big elk can be taken anywhere, but typically come from the more rugged and remote locations in the wilderness or in canyons.
