Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit Fillmore, Oak Creek
What UDWR publishes for unit Fillmore, Oak Creek is a boundary, not a bighorn sheep 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 Juab, Millard, Sanpete and Sevier counties. It runs to about 2,048 square miles.
What bounds unit Fillmore, Oak Creek
UDWR has unit Fillmore, Oak Creek Boundary begins at Black Rock Road and I-15(Exit 135); west on Black Rock Road to SR-257; north on SR-257 to US-6/50; east on US-6/50 to US-6; northeast on US-6 to Santaquin and I-15; south on I-15 to Exit 135 and Black Rock Road. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. 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: Fool Creek Peak, Williams Peak and Partridge Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Fool Creek Peak at 9,653 feet, Williams Peak at 9,168 feet, Partridge Mountain at 8,817 feet, Blue Mountain at 8,593 feet and Buck Peak at 8,553 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Sheep on lower country still need rock, and on a desert unit the rock is the whole hunt.
Holding ground: Davison Canyon, Upper Quaking Asp Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon
Below them sit Davison Canyon at 7,304 feet, Upper Quaking Asp Canyon at 7,158 feet, Rattlesnake Canyon at 7,069 feet, Rogers Canyon at 7,038 feet and Burriston Pass at 6,974 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.
Water: Cottonwood Spring, Jack Spring and Gold Bond Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 139 mapped stream reaches, 21 lakes, 47 stock tanks and 135 springs. Named sources include Cottonwood Spring, Jack Spring, Gold Bond Spring, Jameson Spring, Keystone Springs and Wing 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 National Forest 60%, Private / Other 17%, BLM 15% and State Trust 8%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 4,607 feet to 6,282 feet, averaging 5,254 — not much relief, so the animals move laterally rather than up and down.
