This area is located in southwestern Wyoming, south of Sage Creek Road and is known for the high numbers of elk and high success rates of harvest. Herd health is great and the quality of animals and chances to harvest a bull are very high. The terrain allows hunters to glass a lot of area from high vantage points.

Elk can be found throughout this broken unit and hunters will need to be prepared to cover some ground to initially locate herds.

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. Pine Mountain is the highest peak in this unit. There are a lot of terrain breaks here and many places for small herds to hide. Hunters will need to cover ground and glass hard to locate herds initially. Once animals have been located spot and stalk tactics can work great.

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. Four-wheel drive and chains are recommended during late season hunts when snow is likely

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

Hunters can camp remotely on BLM land with no permit required. Established Forest Service campsites next to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir are located at most boat docks. Lodging at multiple motels can be found just north in Rock Springs and Green River.
