This unit is along the Colorado border about 20 miles north of the southeast corner of Utah. One of the smallest limited-tag elk units in the state, this area is open to elk hunters during a late season in December and January, when many elk migrate here from Colorado.
Each year hunters take a couple bigger bulls. Most elk that winter here have spent spring, summer, and fall in Colorado's Unit 40. Most elk are found in terrain that is between 5,000 and 6,000 feet above sea level. This state issues very few tags in this unit. There is also not a huge population of elk in the area.
