This unit is found in northwestern Wyoming between Cody and Yellowstone National Park. Populations of wolves in this area fluctuate as wolves move in and out of YNP. During periods of snow, large herds of ungulates will be driven into lower elevations in large concentrations the likelihood of seeing wolves will increase. This area is conducive to long hours spent behind optics but timber will still grow densely in areas and hunters may need to still hunt through these. This unit does have some areas that are designated wilderness and nonresident hunters will want to watch for this.

Decent numbers of wolves can be found here at times and hunters can do well. This is large and, at times, very open country. Optics will be very important.

Throughout most of the unit the terrain is rugged with deep canyons and high elevation mountain peaks. Most drainages are steep and rocky with heavily timbered north and east facing slopes. Portions of the unit have had wildfires in past years creating excellent feed for ungulates and providing good glassing opportunities.

This area is largely public land but a good deal of the unit is composed of designated wilderness and nonresident hunters will need to pay attention to this if not hunting with a guide or sponsoring resident. Overall, in this area if hunters can see it they can generally hunt it. Cross country travel can be a chore in most places but trails are available to help hunters access deep areas, though.

Creeks provide riparian habitat with willows, cottonwoods, shrubs, grasses and forbs. Moving up in elevation, vegetation transitions into grassy open southwest slopes. Some sagebrush exists throughout the mid elevations. Northeastern slopes are heavily timbered with lodgepole pine, subalpine fir, Douglas fir, whitebark pine and limber pine. Higher elevations have wet meadow grasses, forbs, and sedges. Above timberline the landscape is rocky with grassy pockets.

If you are hunting in this unit, Cody is really the only town nearby with accommodations and provisions that can be accessed year-round. You can base out of Cody and day hunt anywhere in this unit and be back at a reasonable hour. There are not any established campgrounds up the Southfork, but there are quite a few trailheads for horseback riding that you can camp at. There are some established campgrounds up the Northfork, as well as quite a few places to stay in Cody.
