At a Glance
Back in 2016, both the units on the east and west side of I-15 were combined into one unit. This unit was once labeled as one of Utah’s legendary units with a struggling deer herd and limited public land making locating mature bucks a challenge. Since then there have been wildfires that have created new vegetation for deer on the west side of the unit. The mountain range on the east side is well known for excellent mule deer hunting as well, but now it is more known for trophy elk.
This is a Limited Entry hunt on a general deer unit. With the late-season dates, this could be a great hunt during the early stages of the rut. This unit has never recovered from devastating losses in the 1980s when disease, predation, and other factors caused a dramatic decline in deer numbers.
