Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit Book Cliffs, Floy Canyon
What UDWR publishes for unit Book Cliffs, Floy Canyon is a boundary, not a mule deer map. 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 County. It runs to about 438 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Green River, Thompson Canyon and Sego Canyon
UDWR draws unit Book Cliffs, Floy Canyon in Grand County with a boundary that runs on I-70, and on Green River, Thompson Canyon and Sego Canyon, 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: Roan Peaks, Renegade Point and Deer Point
Named high points inside the unit include Roan Peaks at 9,481 feet, Renegade Point at 7,703 feet, Deer Point at 7,289 feet, Crescent Butte at 6,851 feet and Suluar Mesa at 6,380 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: Cub Valley, Tom Farrer Valley and Right Hand Threeforks Floy Canyon
Below them sit Cub Valley at 6,902 feet, Tom Farrer Valley at 6,782 feet, Right Hand Threeforks Floy Canyon at 6,527 feet, Left Hand Threeforks Floy Canyon at 6,457 feet and Renegade Canyon at 6,418 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.
Water: Trough Spring, Tom Spring and Oak Spring
Named sources include Trough Spring, Tom Spring and Oak 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 4,262 feet to 8,133 feet, averaging 5,798 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
