West of Challis and north and west of the Salmon River, this unit produces good hunting for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.
There are a lot of sheep scattered in this unit, but are usually found during the season above 8,000' in steep and rugged terrain. Bighorn country here is easier to reach compared to other units in the area, but not many rams are taken in the breaks above the Salmon River.
