Where to Find Elk in Unit Cache, North
What UDWR publishes for unit Cache, North is a boundary, not a elk 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 Cache, Box Elder and Rich counties. It runs to about 239 square miles.
What bounds unit Cache, North
UDWR has unit Cache, North Boundary begins at US-91 and the Utah-Idaho state line; south on US-91 to US-89 in Logan; east and north on US-89 to the Utah-Idaho state line; west along this state line to US-91. 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 Mount Elmer at 9,669 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: Steep Hollow, North Fork Amazon Hollow and Chubby Hollow
Below them sit Steep Hollow at 7,336 feet, North Fork Amazon Hollow at 7,313 feet, Chubby Hollow at 7,253 feet, Long Hollow at 7,156 feet and Peterson Hollow at 7,130 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, Coldwater Spring, Bald Eagle Spring and Ballantine 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 5,428 feet to 8,665 feet, averaging 7,351 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
