This unit is located in the northwest portion of the state between Jackson and Dubois, south of State Highway 26/287. Unlike most of the units in this part of the state, this unit does not have any Wilderness Areas, which is a big plus for nonresidents. Unfortunately, this unit does not have very good harvest numbers.

Most of the black bears harvested in this unit are taken in the fall, usually a target of opportunity while people are out deer or elk hunting.
