At a Glance
Comprised of the Shoshone National Forest in the west-central part of the state. This area is bordered by the Continental Divide and the East Fork of Torrey Creek on the west, U.S. Highway 26/287 on the north and the Wind River Indian Reservation on the east. It contains a lot of public land with the majority of it in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area in the Wind River Mountain Range.
Sheep are concentrated in this unit deep within the wilderness near Gannett Peak, the tallest peak in Wyoming. Sheep tend to stay above timberline until snowfall moves them down, usually after the season ends. Horses are a big advantage when hunting this unit, rams are typically a two-day ride from the nearest trailhead. Good rams can be found with hard work.
