This unit is made up of the scenic mountains in the Shoshone National Forest, on the east side of the Wind River Range. There is very little wilderness within this unit, which can be inviting to the DIY nonresident hunter. You'll find fairly good access through most of the unit and still plenty of good areas to get away from roads and trails. There is a healthy number of animals here and those who are willing to work hard and put in the effort should find success.
There is rugged and steep terrain here, but elk can be found all throughout the area. This is a big area with plenty of country to hunt. Horses can be helpful while hunting here. This is also a good place for hunters to take some good bulls.
