At a Glance
Unlike the neighboring units to the north and south, unit 81 is completely wilderness free. It's still part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest and it's located just east of the Grand Teton National Park. There is a ton of access from the north and south side of this unit and plenty of amenities close by. One thing to keep in mind is that it's definitely grizzly country, so be sure to take the proper precautions. There is a healthy population of animals here and those willing to put in the effort are going to find success.
This is a rugged and steep unit with elk located throughout. This decently sized unit has lots of drainages for hunters to hunt. Grizzly bears can be found in this area.
Quick Tips
- Bring fishing gear to fish in the nearby Snake River and Gros Ventre River
