The country

A long flat-top plateau cut by steep, remote canyons. Lower slopes carry sage and pinyon-juniper rising into oak brush, aspen and mixed timber on top.

Access and pressure

Good road access along the top of the plateau, but many roads turn impassable when wet, and ATV traffic can be significant on the accessible benches.

How to hunt Unit 62

Use the road network to cover country fast early, then drop off the rim into the steep canyon heads where pressured elk retreat, watching the weather closely.

Know the unit. Now find where the elk move.
