Bison Hunting in Unit Henry Mtns

Unit Henry Mtns lies in Garfield, Kane and Wayne counties. UDWR's harvest estimates put bison success here as high as 85%. 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 Bison in Unit Henry Mtns

What UDWR publishes for unit Henry Mtns is a boundary, not a bison 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 Garfield, Kane and Wayne counties.

What bounds unit Henry Mtns

UDWR draws unit Henry Mtns in Garfield, Kane and Wayne counties with a boundary that runs on Divide Canyon, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: North Summit Ridge, Mount Ellen Peak and Mount Ellen

Named high points inside the unit include North Summit Ridge at 11,515 feet, Mount Ellen Peak at 11,498 feet, Mount Ellen at 11,477 feet, South Summit Ridge at 11,407 feet and Mount Pennell at 11,393 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. The animals here want cover next to feed and will stay within reach of both.

Holding ground: Nasty Flat, Wickiup Pass and Star Flat

Below them sit Nasty Flat at 9,633 feet, Wickiup Pass at 9,261 feet, Star Flat at 8,868 feet, Blue Basin at 8,669 feet and Copper Basin at 8,583 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: Lost Spring, Bert Avery Seep and Dripping Rock Seep

Named sources include Lost Spring, Bert Avery Seep, Dripping Rock Seep, McClellan Spring, Quaking Aspen Spring and Woodruff 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.

UDWR's draw recap has no bison record we can tie to unit Henry Mtns. 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.
