The northern part of the unit has very broken terrain and lots of timber, much of what you will find in this unit is not what most would consider ideal sheep habitat. However, considering the fire that burned through the unit in 2017, things could change quickly, and the areas around Fifes Peak and further to the southwest along Hwy 410 could start holding sheep better than they have in the past. Overall, most of the sheep hunters with this permit have found success to the south, specifically on the Cleman Mountain, but if you are looking for an extraordinary ram, don’t rule out this part of the unit, you never know where a big mature ram will decide to call home.

With a large fire that burned through this area in 2017 and all of the new growth that will happen because of it, sheep may begin to turn up more throughout this unit than they have in the past.
