This unit is a very small unit located on the very western edge of the state, just south of the town of Alpine Wyoming. Most of the foothills on the northern and western side are going to be made up of private property, but there is still plenty of public land to be had. This is a wilderness free unit, so nonresidents are not restricted as far as access is concerned. This unit is part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest and for those willing to hunt hard, there are some decent bulls to be found.

This is a small area with little country to hunt. Not a reliable area to produce a lot of good bulls unless early snowfall pushes elk down. Most elk and the largest bulls typically push down with snowfall later in the season. Roughly 1,000 elk use this feed ground.

This unit reaches from the Grey’s and Snake River valley floors to the mountaintop above Squaw Creek and Alpine. Terrain is more gently contoured at lower elevations, but becomes steep and rugged with higher elevations.

Most of the land has steep, west-facing slopes covered with a mixture of aspen, conifers and shrubs. There are a lot of natural springs in this area, as well as grassy slopes that can be found above private land.

Public access here is decent along the Grey’s River Road U.S. Highway 89. There are few maintained side roads, but not a lot of trails in this unit. Packing in with horses or backpacks is not recommended, but day hunts are typical. This area is bordered by the Idaho state line on the west and the Snake and Grey’s River to the north. Squaw Creek can be found on the east, with the Stewart Creek trail and road on the south. This unit has some private land and no wilderness area.

Alpine Junction is the closest town, and has a lot of options for lodging. Grocery stores, gas stations, and other stores are also available here. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. There are a couple of designated campgrounds located in or near the unit. Hunters can also camp in remote locations.
