This unit is found on the western side of the state, just north of Dubois at the southern end of the Shoshone National Forest. The mountains in this area are very rugged, and steep with cliffs everywhere. This area generally has a smaller population density as compared to surrounding areas but hunters still harvest a handful of wolves each year.

A smaller density of wolves will be found here but hunters still manage to take a few each season. This is large and, at times, very open country. Optics will be very important. Nonresident hunters will want to pay close attention to wilderness boundaries.

This hunt area is horseback friendly and has a lot of trails running through it. The terrain varies from river bottoms to peaks of over 12,000 feet. There are some areas of gently contoured ridges and extreme volcanic rocky outcroppings. Timberline can be found at 10,000 feet. Hunters will generally find a lot of access options through the use of the trail system but cross country travel can be very physically demanding.

This area is largely public land but does have some 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.

Upper elevations above timberline have rocky faces with grassy patches. Mid elevations are heavily timbered with subalpine fir, Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, whitebark pine and limber pine slopes with some open grass-covered hillsides. Grasses in this area include wheatgrass species and other native cool-season bunch grasses. Lower elevations have a mixture of rolling sagebrush hills, grasslands and pine pockets. Creek and river bottoms are covered in willows, shrubs, grasses, forbs, sedges and timber pockets.

Cody offers many options for lodging including motels like Best Western, Super 8, The Cody and Holiday Inn. Cody also has groceries, gas and other amenities. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. There are lots of designated campgrounds located throughout the unit, but hunters can also camp in remote locations.
