This unit, better known as the Gros Ventre, is in the northwest portion of Wyoming, west of Jackson. Unfortunately for nonresidents, the majority of this unit is designated as a Wilderness Area. The largest section of non-Wilderness Area is located in the southernmost portion of the unit, near the Jim Creek Basin.

There was a large fire in 2016 in the southern portion of this unit. This area has had a few years of new growth and provides the best opportunity for nonresidents to find a black bear since it’s not in the Wilderness Area.
