Utah Mule Deer Elk Bear

Unit 14 (San Juan)

Utah Hunting Guide — Mule Deer, Elk, Bear

Unit 14 lies in Grand and San Juan counties. UDWR publishes no per-unit mule deer success figure we can verify for this unit. Most of the unit is private, so access comes before tactics. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Mule Deer Hunting in Unit 14

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 14

UDWR draws an exact line around unit 14 and says nothing about where the mule deer stand inside it. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Grand and San Juan counties.

The lines of the unit: Colorado River, Kane Springs Creek and San Juan River

UDWR draws unit 14 in Grand and San Juan counties with a boundary that runs on Colorado River, Kane Springs Creek and San Juan River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.

High ground inside the line: Abajo Peak, Horsehead Peak and Jackson Ridge

Named high points inside the unit include Abajo Peak at 11,339 feet, Horsehead Peak at 11,182 feet, Jackson Ridge at 11,085 feet, South Peak at 11,047 feet and West Mountain at 11,009 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Mule deer bed on broken ground with a view and feed on the brush below it.

Holding ground: Buckboard Flat, Aspen Flat and Sego Flat

Below them sit Buckboard Flat at 9,041 feet, Aspen Flat at 8,777 feet, Sego Flat at 8,751 feet, North Canyon at 8,706 feet and Redd Pasture at 8,532 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Water: Rustler Spring, Jackson Spring and Sop Spring

Named sources include Rustler Spring, Jackson Spring, Sop Spring, Soda Spring, Trout Water Canyon Spring and Cave Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Before you apply: who owns this unit

A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land.

Unit 14 terrain and land status

Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up

Named features inside the unit

Glass from: Abajo Peak (11,339 ft), Horsehead Peak (11,182 ft), South Peak (11,047 ft), West Mountain (11,009 ft)

Holding ground: Cooley Pass (10,708 ft), Robertson Pasture (9,527 ft), Buckboard Flat (9,041 ft), Rustler Spring, Jackson Spring

Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

How to Hunt Mule Deer in Unit 14

UDWR publishes no mule deer success figure for unit 14 that we can tie to this unit alone, so we won't quote one. The plan: glass the broken edges at first light, then sit still and keep glassing the same ground.

Glassing from Bob Park Peak, Duckett Ridge and Shay Mountain

Take a position on one of Bob Park Peak (10,801 ft), Duckett Ridge (10,120 ft), Shay Mountain (9,974 ft) and Prairie Dog Knoll (9,927 ft) and be on it before light. In the dark the air runs downhill. Pick an approach that doesn't send it into the country you want to see, and plan to move once the slope warms. Glass the edges first, then the shaded timber, then the edges again as the light goes. On the rut hunts, late-season hunts put bucks with doe groups and moving in daylight.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Abajo Peak, Horsehead Peak, South Peak and West Mountain as places to see from, and Cooley Pass, Robertson Pasture, Buckboard Flat and Rustler Spring as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Join two of them into a morning: be on the first before light, move to the second once the thermals turn.

What we can't tell you

A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land. Settle access before the season rather than during it. Some of the ground named above carries no land-status flag we trust, so check ownership on a current layer before you hunt it. We have no mule deer success figure for this unit that survives checking against UDWR's own harvest and hunter counts, and we would rather say so than print a statewide average as though it were measured here.

Utah rules that decide your day

Summarised from UDWR regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before official sunrise to half an hour after official sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Utah requires travel on existing roads and trails; there is no general off-road retrieval allowance. Plan a pack-out from anything you can't reach from an open route.

Tagging

Notch and attach the tag to the carcass before leaving the kill site.

Leaving meat

Wasting protected wildlife is a crime.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 600 feet of a house, dwelling or other building without permission, and no shooting from a vehicle or across a road.

Mule Deer: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body.

Shots to refuse

Nothing behind or overlapping the animal you picked.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have shot a three-shot group into a paper plate from the rest you are carrying.
Pass the shot you are talking yourself into.

Plan the carry: roughly 40– 120 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two large coolers. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

Mule Deer Success Rates

UDWR's 2023 harvest estimates carry no mule deer row for unit 14 that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here. UDWR's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.

UDWR's draw recap has no mule deer record we can tie to unit 14. That usually means the licence is sold over the counter, is issued under a hunt code covering several units, or was not offered in the years we hold. Rather than estimate a point requirement, we leave it blank — check UDWR's own draw recap for the hunt code you mean to apply for.

Elk Hunting in Unit 14

Unit 14 lies in Grand and San Juan counties. UDWR publishes no per-unit elk success figure we can verify for this unit. Most of the unit is private, so access comes before tactics. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Elk in Unit 14

What UDWR publishes for unit 14 is a boundary, not a elk map. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Grand and San Juan counties.

The lines of the unit: Colorado River, Kane Springs Creek and San Juan River

UDWR draws unit 14 in Grand and San Juan counties with a boundary that runs on Colorado River, Kane Springs Creek and San Juan River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.

High ground inside the line: Twin Peaks, Mount Linnaeus and North Peak

Named high points inside the unit include Twin Peaks at 10,974 feet, Mount Linnaeus at 10,944 feet, North Peak at 10,818 feet, Bob Park Peak at 10,801 feet and Duckett Ridge at 10,120 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Elk want timber to bed in and open ground to feed on, within a short walk of each other.

Holding ground: Babylon Pasture, Gold Queen Gulch and Dickson Gulch

Below them sit Babylon Pasture at 8,518 feet, Gold Queen Gulch at 8,494 feet, Dickson Gulch at 8,493 feet, Poso Pasture at 8,478 feet and Cooley Gulch at 8,455 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Water: Peters Spring, Green Water Spring and Rock Spring

Named sources include Peters Spring, Green Water Spring, Rock Spring, Taylor Spring, Horsehead Spring and Alkali Seep. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Before you apply: who owns this unit

A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land.

Unit 14 terrain and land status

Named features inside the unit

Glass from: Abajo Peak (11,339 ft), Horsehead Peak (11,182 ft), South Peak (11,047 ft), West Mountain (11,009 ft)

Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

How to Hunt Elk in Unit 14

UDWR publishes no elk success figure for unit 14 that we can tie to this unit alone, so we won't quote one. The plan: find the feed, find the timber it backs onto, then watch the seam between them at the edges of the day.

Glassing from Shay Ridge, The Causeway and Horse Mountain

Take a position on one of Shay Ridge (9,750 ft), The Causeway (9,302 ft), Horse Mountain (9,296 ft) and Bears Ears (9,056 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. A tripod is worth more here than another hour of walking. On the rut hunts, September bugling works where you can get above a drainage and let the thermals carry sound downhill.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Abajo Peak, Horsehead Peak, South Peak and West Mountain as places to see from, and Cooley Pass, Robertson Pasture, Buckboard Flat and Rustler Spring as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

Elk: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body. That is lungs, and on a quartering-away angle it picks up the far shoulder.

Shots to refuse

No straight-on and no straight-away shots. An elk's chest is deep and the margin is small.
Nothing standing behind or overlapping the animal you picked. A pass-through kills the elk behind it too.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have put three shots in a paper plate off the sticks you are actually carrying. Not the farthest you have ever hit anything.
Scope on 3–4x. A herd fills a 12x field of view and you lose the animal you picked.

Identification:On an antlerless tag, legal means no antler of any kind through the skin. A spike looks exactly like a cow until it turns its head. If you can't see the head, don't shoot.

Plan the carry: roughly 150– 220 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two to four large coolers, plus bagged ice from town. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

Bear Hunting in Unit 14

Unit 14 lies in Grand and San Juan counties. UDWR publishes no per-unit black bear success figure we can verify for this unit. Most of the unit is private, so access comes before tactics. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Black Bear in Unit 14

UDWR's material on unit 14 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its black bear live. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Grand and San Juan counties.

The lines of the unit: Colorado River, Kane Springs Creek and San Juan River

UDWR draws unit 14 in Grand and San Juan counties with a boundary that runs on Colorado River, Kane Springs Creek and San Juan River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.

High ground inside the line: Shay Mountain, Prairie Dog Knoll and Shay Ridge

Named high points inside the unit include Shay Mountain at 9,974 feet, Prairie Dog Knoll at 9,927 feet, Shay Ridge at 9,750 feet, The Causeway at 9,302 feet and Horse Mountain at 9,296 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Bears follow food, which in early autumn means oakbrush, chokecherry and serviceberry on south slopes.

Holding ground: Little Notch, Davis Pocket and Upper Lost Parks

Below them sit Little Notch at 8,246 feet, Davis Pocket at 8,148 feet, Upper Lost Parks at 7,982 feet, Chimney Park at 7,970 feet and Gold Queen Basin at 7,831 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Water: Tin Cup Spring, Potato Spring and Harrison Spring

Named sources include Tin Cup Spring, Potato Spring, Harrison Spring, Cold Water Spring, North Notch Spring and Sweet Alice Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

How to Hunt Black Bear in Unit 14

Glassing from Abajo Mountains, Brushy Knoll and Dry Mesa

Take a position on one of Abajo Mountains (8,988 ft), Brushy Knoll (8,948 ft), Dry Mesa (8,890 ft) and The Heel (8,888 ft) and be on it before light. In the dark the air runs downhill. Pick an approach that doesn't send it into the country you want to see, and plan to move once the slope warms. Glass the edges first, then the shaded timber, then the edges again as the light goes.
