Utah Mule Deer Elk Moose

Unit 2 (Cache)

Utah Hunting Guide — Mule Deer, Elk, Moose

Unit 2 lies in Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber counties and covers about 1,831 square miles. Ground runs from 4,533 to 8,605 feet. 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 2

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 2

UDWR's material on unit 2 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its mule deer 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 Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber counties. It runs to about 1,831 square miles.

What bounds unit 2

UDWR draws unit 2 in Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber counties with a boundary that runs on I-15 and USFS Road 054, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: Naomi Peak, Bear River Range and Doubletop Mountain

Named high points inside the unit include Naomi Peak at 9,953 feet, Bear River Range at 9,953 feet, Doubletop Mountain at 9,838 feet, Cherry Peak at 9,744 feet and Logan Peak at 9,691 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Mule deer on open country use every fold and draw there is, and almost none of the flat.

Holding ground: Swan Flat, Peter Sinks and Old Canyon Basin

Below them sit Swan Flat at 8,314 feet, Peter Sinks at 8,105 feet, Old Canyon Basin at 8,067 feet, Willis Sink at 7,914 feet and Welches Flat at 7,812 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.

Water: Beaver Spring, Canteen Spring and Cottonwood Spring

Named sources include Beaver Spring, Canteen Spring, Cottonwood Spring, Worm Fence Spring, Conifer Box Spring and Temple 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. Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 4,533 feet to 8,605 feet, averaging 6,401 — that is a lot of vertical to cover, and it means the season you draw decides which half of the unit you hunt.

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 2

UDWR publishes no mule deer success figure for unit 2 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 Providence Peak, Mount Jardine and Box Elder Peak

Take a position on one of Providence Peak (9,588 ft), Mount Jardine (9,532 ft), Box Elder Peak (9,358 ft) and Wellsville Cone (9,349 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. Work the glass in strips and go back over ground you already covered — animals appear in country you looked at ten minutes ago. On the rut hunts, late-season hunts put bucks with doe groups and moving in daylight.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Season normals here run Sep 75/46°F, Oct 60/36°F and Nov 45/26°F. Warm afternoons compress the hunting into the first and last hour, and make meat care the day's real problem rather than the shot. Precipitation runs about 1.2 in. in Sep, 1.6 in. in Oct and 1.3 in. in Nov, and the graded gravel in this unit turns greasy wet.

The way in: I-15 and USFS Road 054

We have no road inventory for this unit, so the only routes we can name are the ones UDWR draws the boundary with: I-15 and USFS Road 054. Those are its edges, not its interior — useful because they are where you leave the pavement, and useless for telling you what the inside is like. Check each of them on a current motor-vehicle-use map before you count on it, because a line on a boundary description is not a promise of public access.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Naomi Peak, Doubletop Mountain, Logan Peak and Mount Elmer as places to see from, and Spence Basin Sink, Arbs Basin, Stewart Pass and Beaver 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.

What a day here costs you

1,831 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. With 4,072 feet between the lowest and highest ground, the walk back up out of a kill site is the part to plan first. Decide the night before where you will be at first light, and go there in the dark.

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 2 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 2. 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 2

Unit 2 lies in Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber counties and covers about 1,831 square miles. Ground runs from 4,533 to 8,605 feet. 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 2

What UDWR publishes for unit 2 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 Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber counties. It runs to about 1,831 square miles.

What bounds unit 2

UDWR draws unit 2 in Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber counties with a boundary that runs on I-15 and USFS Road 054, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Mount Elmer, Mount Magog and Mount Gog

Named high points inside the unit include Mount Elmer at 9,669 feet, Mount Magog at 9,655 feet, Mount Gog at 9,635 feet, Providence Peak at 9,588 feet and Mount Jardine at 9,532 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Elk on low, open country live on distance and visibility, so they see you first.

Holding ground: Woodruff Park, Bear Lake Summit and Burnt Fork

Below them sit Woodruff Park at 7,810 feet, Bear Lake Summit at 7,804 feet, Burnt Fork at 7,717 feet, South Sink at 7,710 feet and Frazier Hollow at 7,704 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.

Water: Yonk Spring, Little Cottonwood Spring and Dugway Spring

Named sources include Yonk Spring, Little Cottonwood Spring, Dugway Spring, Hunsaker Springs, Barrel Spring and Trigaro Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

How to Hunt Elk in Unit 2

UDWR publishes no elk success figure for unit 2 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 Millville Peak, Bridger Peak and Steam Mill Peak

Take a position on one of Millville Peak (9,254 ft), Bridger Peak (9,252 ft), Steam Mill Peak (9,244 ft) and Mount McKinnon (9,080 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. Give a basin forty minutes before you decide it is empty. On the rut hunts, September bugling works where you can get above a drainage and let the thermals carry sound downhill.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

The way in: I-15 and USFS Road 054

We have no road inventory for this unit, so the only routes we can name are the ones UDWR draws the boundary with: I-15 and USFS Road 054. Those are its edges, not its interior — useful because they are where you leave the pavement, and useless for telling you what the inside is like. Park on the boundary and walk; a unit you can only enter from its rim rewards whoever is willing to leave the truck at the rim.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Naomi Peak, Doubletop Mountain, Logan Peak and Mount Elmer as places to see from, and Spence Basin Sink, Arbs Basin, Stewart Pass and Beaver 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 a day here costs you

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 elk 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.

Where you may not shoot

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.

Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Moose need standing water and willow, so on dry country they are tied to the few drainages that hold both.

Holding ground: Walton Gulch, Dans Hollow and Green Fork New Canyon

Below them sit Walton Gulch at 7,702 feet, Dans Hollow at 7,673 feet, Green Fork New Canyon at 7,660 feet, Horse Flat at 7,622 feet and Deadman Gulch at 7,589 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

How to Hunt Shiras Moose in Unit 2

Take a position on one of Swan Peak (9,078 ft), Eccles Peak (9,054 ft), Temple Peak (9,008 ft) and Wellsville Mountains (8,915 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.

Shots to refuse

Where it falls decides your next two days. Avoid shots that drop a moose in water or a bog.
A .30-06 class cartridge minimum, with a bullet built for heavy bone.

Plan the carry: roughly 350– 500 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — four or more large coolers, or a processor. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.
