This unit is located in the southeastern portion of the state and features good numbers of elk. With a moderate distribution of public land, this unit is composed of high desert plains, river bottoms, and timbered mountain slopes. DIY hunters can find success here but the lower distribution of public land can be a challenge at times.

Good populations of elk can be found here and herds will be present in both high and low-elevation areas. With a smaller distribution of public lands hunters will need to work into more difficult and remote areas to find consistent success.

The western half of this unit is heavily timbered and mountainous. Many roads exist in this part of the unit but hunters can still find remote areas that will require a good deal of sweat equity to reach. The eastern half of the unit will be composed of lower foothills, open prairie ground, and scattered river and creek bottoms with small patches of timber. Most of the lower elevation areas in the eastern half of the unit are private lands.

Public access in this unit is good with several well-maintained roads, a network of forest roads and smaller two track roads. Most roads here are in good condition, with a few passable only with four-wheel drive or ATVs. Packing in with horses or backpack hunting is possible, but day hunts are more common.

Most vegetation is made up of timbered slopes with a lot of upland areas that are dominated by sagebrush, grass and mountain shrubs. Timber stands mainly have limber pine, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, subalpine fir with scattered pockets of aspen. Vegetation cover can be quite high in mountainous areas and glassable slopes can be few and far between.

Laramie is the closest town of any size, and offers many options for lodging. Groceries, gas, and other amenities can be found here as well. Camping is allowed on all public land for up to 16 days in one location and many hunters opt to go this route.
