Most of this large unit is north of Vernal, and a small part is south of town. The state issues a limited number of tags, but this is a very large unit so hunter competition is low. Hunting the public land that borders agricultural land can prove successful.

This unit has good access to full-size vehicles and ATVs. There are plenty of antelope that are well-dispersed throughout the unit. Because of oil and gas development in this unit, there is good access and animals are accustomed to vehicle traffic. This is not a physically demanding hunt and can provide hunters with good access.
