This area is located in southwestern Wyoming, north of Interstate 80, and is known for large bulls and high success rates. Herd health is great and the quality of animals and chances to harvest a bull are good. The terrain allows hunters to glass a lot of area from high vantage points and optics will play a key role in success here.

Good populations of elk can be found here along with quality bulls and high success rates.

The area is made up of long, deep canyons and sagebrush flats. A few mountain ranges provide hunters with vantage points for glassing and locating elk herds. Table Mountain, Essex Mountain and Steamboat Mountain have the highest peaks in this area.

The majority of the area is covered by sagebrush, bitterbrush, juniper, pinyon and prairie grass. The higher mountains have aspen, willows and conifers. Willows and cottonwood trees can be found on ranches and creek bottoms.

The majority of this area is BLM land and ranch lands with good public access. Most roads are marked with BLM signs. Oil and gas wells are located throughout the unit. No wilderness is found here that will restrict nonresident access. Tire chains are recommended during inclement weather and roads can turn into gumbo with moisture.

Hunters can camp remotely on BLM land with no permit required. Lodging at multiple motels can be located just south in Rock Springs, Green River and Wamsutter.
