This unit is found in western Wyoming and just south of the town of Dubois. This area is almost entirely designated wilderness which will cause obvious access issues for nonresidents. Still, very few wolves are actually found in the area and harvest numbers are generally very low.

A low density of wolves are found here and packs can be very challenging to locate. In general, hunters can find better options in adjoining areas.

This unit reaches from the foothills along the Wind River Indian Reservation and the valley floor along U.S. Highway 26/287. South and west across a portion of the Wind River Mountain Range are some of the tallest peaks in the state. The terrain is more gently contoured at lower elevations, but becomes steep and rugged in higher elevations, with timberline at about 10,000 feet.

Public access here is limited, and horses are beneficial. A few roads come into or close to the unit from the northeast. Several trails go through the unit, but most country doesn’t have a lot of trails. Expect long hikes or horseback rides. This area is bordered by the Continental Divide and the Jakey’s Fork Creek on the west. U.S. Highway 26/287 can be found on the north, and the Wind River Indian Reservation is on the east. This unit has a lot of public land and the majority of it is in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area, within the Wind River Mountain Range.

Low and middle elevations have grassy and sage-covered meadows mixed with Douglas fir and aspen. Higher up near timberline, the country has thick spruce fir forest and some whitebark pine with a lot of grassy slopes, meadows and alpine basins.

Dubois is the closest town and has a lot of options for lodging. Grocery stores, gas stations and other stores are available as well. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. Hunters can camp in remote locations.
