At a Glance
This unit is located in the northwest corner of the state, bordering Montana to the north and Yellowstone National Park to the west. This area has changed recently to a limited entry unit which has increased the trophy potential. A Type 1 and Type 2 rifle season and Type 9 archery only season gives hunters a few options for hunting big bulls. There is some wilderness areas within this unit, so the DIY nonresident hunter needs to be aware of the boundaries. This is also known grizzly country.
The western portion and most of this area is designated wilderness which will require nonresidents to hire an outfitter or hunt with a registered resident. This unit has enough non wilderness public land for a nonresident to have a good hunt or a great guided elk hunt.
Quick Tips
