The Tuscarora Mountains, in the northern half of this area, is one of the notable things about this portion land. Residing north of the Midas Road, between State Route 226 and Midas, most of this land is covered in sagebrush, mixed aspen and serviceberry. Home to mule deer, elk and pronghorn antelope.
Decent summering elk population, which also serves as a transitional migration and winter range for some elk out of Bull Run Mountains to the north. Deer found at all elevations, more found above 6,500 feet. Late rifle season is best for locating and tagging trophy bucks.
Quick Tips
- Limited cell phone service in most areas
- A lot of seasons for deer, elk and antelope overlap, resulting in high hunter traffic and competition for space
