This unit is located in the northwest corner of Wyoming between Meeteetse and Thermopolis, west of State Highway 120. This unit is like most of Wyoming, with a mix of National Forest, state land, BLM and private. This unit is approximately 70 miles long and 30 miles wide, but you really only need to focus on the northwest portion. Yes, there have been bears spotted outside of this portion of the unit, but they are usually the younger bears wandering because they got pushed out or are looking for food. There are grizzlies in this unit, so make sure you know for sure if the bear you are looking at is a black bear.

Because of the annual average black bear harvest, you could consider this a “sleeper” unit for Wyoming.
