Located in Southwestern Wyoming, north of Rock Springs and east of Highway 191, this unit is known for high numbers of antelope and its success rates. Herd growth has slowed down, but hunters still have a great chance to harvest good bucks here.
Bucks can be found throughout the area. Oil and gas wells provide cover for spot and stalk.
Mostly long and deep canyons and sagebrush flats can be seen here. There are a few mountain ranges with good vantage points for glassing and finding antelope herds. Hay Reservoir and Bridger Power Plant Reservoir are the largest water sources in the area.
Most of this area has BLM land with a few ranch lands and good public access. Most roads are marked with BLM signs. ATV's, UTV's and four-wheel drive vehicles with chains are recommended if weather takes a turn for the worse. Road conditions here can change very rapidly.
The majority of the area is dominated by sagebrush, bitterbrush, juniper, pinyon and prairie grass. In the higher mountains there will be aspen and a few conifers. A few ranches in the northwest of the unit have creek bottoms with willows and cottonwood trees.
Most hunters will camp remotely on BLM land on the unit with no permit required. Lodging at multiple motels can be found just south of the unit in Rock Springs and Wamsutter.
