Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit Box Elder, Promontory
UDWR's material on unit Box Elder, Promontory stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its pronghorn 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 County. It runs to about 1,590 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Great Salt Lake and Locomotive Springs
UDWR draws unit Box Elder, Promontory in Box Elder County with a boundary that runs on I-15, and on Great Salt Lake and Locomotive Springs, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Messix Peak, West Hills and Mount Tarpey
Named high points inside the unit include Messix Peak at 7,333 feet, West Hills at 7,172 feet, Mount Tarpey at 6,953 feet, Limekiln Knoll at 6,653 feet and Cedar Ridge at 6,351 feet. None carries a public-land flag we trust, so settle the ownership question before you plan to stand on one. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.
Holding ground: Bulls Pass, Rattlesnake Pass and Antelope Flat
Below them sit Bulls Pass at 5,378 feet, Rattlesnake Pass at 5,305 feet, Antelope Flat at 5,286 feet, Ridgedale Pass at 5,249 feet and Sunset Pass at 5,233 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: Oregon Springs, Burnhope Spring and Poison Spring
Named sources include Oregon Springs, Burnhope Spring, Poison Spring, Salt Spring, Blind Springs and Stinking Springs. 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 4,200 feet to 5,724 feet, averaging 4,691 — not much relief, so the animals move laterally rather than up and down.
