Hunters have expressed mixed experiences in the Fillmore, Oak Creek South unit in Utah, highlighting the challenging terrain and the need for careful consideration of weather conditions, which can affect access and game movement. Many recommend the unit for its diversity of wildlife, though it's crucial to plan accordingly based on the season, as game behavior varies significantly. Some hunters stress the importance of scouting before hunting, noting that typical patterns can change unexpectedly. Overall, being adaptable and well-prepared can lead to productive hunts in this region.
Hunters may buy over-the-counter bull elk tags to hunt in this unit, which borders the west side of the Pahvant trophy elk area.
Some big bulls survived for several years after this unit was switched from part of a limited-entry trophy elk unit to an open-bull unit where hunters could use over-the-counter tags. Now it's rare to find a 5x5 or bigger bull except on some of the large private tracts.
