Bighorn Sheep Hunting in Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco

Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco

What UDWR publishes for unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco is a boundary, not a bighorn sheep 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 1,461 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Green River and Colorado River

UDWR has unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco Boundary begins at I-70 and Green River; east along I-70 to the Utah-Colorado state line; south along the state line to the Colorado River; southwest along the Colorado River to the confluence with the Green River; north along the Green River to I-70. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: The Knoll, Whitbeck Rock and Dead Horse Point

Named high points inside the unit include The Knoll at 6,284 feet, Whitbeck Rock at 6,156 feet, Dead Horse Point at 6,021 feet, Horsethief Point at 5,966 feet and Beehive Butte at 5,923 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: Bartlett Flat, Jug Rock Flat and Courthouse Pasture

Below them sit Bartlett Flat at 5,200 feet, Jug Rock Flat at 5,181 feet, Courthouse Pasture at 5,006 feet, The Poison Strip at 4,902 feet and Yellow Jacket Park at 4,884 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: Cabin Spring, Freshwater Spring and Salt Spring

Named sources include Cabin Spring, Freshwater Spring, Salt Spring, Dewey Spring, Auger Spring and Dry 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 4,026 feet to 6,033 feet, averaging 4,707 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.

How to Hunt Bighorn Sheep in Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco

UDWR's own harvest estimates put bighorn sheep success in unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco at rifle 72%. A number like that comes from few tags and a short season, not from easy hunting. The plan: pick a glassing position across from the escape terrain and stay on it for hours, not minutes.

Glassing from Winter Camp Ridge, Merrimac Butte and Deadman Point

Take a position on one of Winter Camp Ridge (5,461 ft), Merrimac Butte (5,453 ft), Deadman Point (5,450 ft) and Monitor Butte (5,412 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. Glass the edges first, then the shaded timber, then the edges again as the light goes. On the rut hunts, late hunts put rams with ewe groups on the same rock.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Season normals here run Sep 84/54°F, Oct 69/40°F and Nov 53/27°F. Warm afternoons compress the hunting into the first and last hour, and make meat care the day's real problem rather than the shot. Precipitation runs about 0.9 in. in Sep, 0.9 in. in Oct and 0.4 in. in Nov, and the graded gravel in this unit turns greasy wet.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks The Knoll, Whitbeck Rock, Horsethief Point and Beehive Butte as places to see from, and Big Flat, Dome Plateau, Crips Hole and Cabin Spring as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Take the pair you can reach on one road and treat the rest as a second trip.

What a day here costs you

1,461 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. The ground is gentle enough that the pack-out is a distance problem rather than a climbing one. One good position held through the whole of first light beats three visited in a hurry.

What we can't tell you

Utah rules that decide your day

Summarised from UDWR regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before official sunrise to half an hour after official sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Utah requires travel on existing roads and trails; there is no general off-road retrieval allowance. Plan a pack-out from anything you can't reach from an open route.

Tagging

Notch and attach the tag to the carcass before leaving the kill site.

Leaving meat

Wasting protected wildlife is a crime.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 600 feet of a house, dwelling or other building without permission, and no shooting from a vehicle or across a road.

Bighorn Sheep: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body.

Shots to refuse

Nothing behind or overlapping the animal you picked.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have shot a three-shot group into a paper plate from the rest you are carrying.
Pass the shot you are talking yourself into.

Plan the carry: roughly 40– 120 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two large coolers. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

UDWR's 2023 harvest estimates carry no bighorn sheep row for unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here.

UDWR's 2025 draw recap for bighorn sheep in unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

Any Legal Weapon, Once-in-a-lifetime, Bull/Buck Only, resident: 424 applicants for 6 licences, 1.4% drawn, 26 bonus points needed

Utah draws on bonus points in a weighted random draw, not in point order, so the figure above is what it happened to take that year rather than a threshold you can plan to reach. More points buy more chances, never a turn. These are the figures as published in UDWR's own draw recap; we have not yet checked them back against the agency row by row, so confirm the hunt you mean to apply for before you count on a number.

Antelope Hunting in Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco

Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco lies in Grand County and covers about 1,461 square miles. Ground runs from 4,026 to 6,033 feet. UDWR publishes no per-unit pronghorn success figure we can verify for this unit. 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 Pronghorn in Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco

UDWR's material on unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco 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 Grand County. It runs to about 1,461 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Green River and Colorado River

UDWR has unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco Boundary begins at I-70 and Green River; east along I-70 to the Utah-Colorado state line; south along the state line to the Colorado River; southwest along the Colorado River to the confluence with the Green River; north along the Green River to I-70. 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: Mineral Point, Dry Mesa and The Needles

Named high points inside the unit include Mineral Point at 5,833 feet, Dry Mesa at 5,755 feet, The Needles at 5,481 feet, Winter Camp Ridge at 5,461 feet and Merrimac Butte at 5,453 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.

Holding ground: Whipsaw Flat, Long Valley and Little Valley

Below them sit Whipsaw Flat at 4,829 feet, Long Valley at 4,791 feet, Little Valley at 4,789 feet, Little Valley at 4,655 feet and Dry Fork Bull Canyon at 4,642 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Water: Caves Spring, Brink Spring and Levi Well

Named sources include Caves Spring, Brink Spring, Levi Well, Cabin Spring, Freshwater Spring and Salt Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in Unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco

UDWR publishes no pronghorn success figure for unit La Sal, Potash/south Cisco that we can tie to this unit alone, so we won't quote one. The plan: spot from a vehicle or a rise at distance, then plan a stalk that uses the only cover there is — the curve of the ground.

Glassing from The Highlands, Tombstone Butte and Jug Rock

Take a position on one of The Highlands (5,367 ft), Tombstone Butte (5,269 ft), Jug Rock (5,254 ft) and Poison Spider Mesa (5,204 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. Glass the edges first, then the shaded timber, then the edges again as the light goes. On the rut hunts, early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks The Knoll, Whitbeck Rock, Horsethief Point and Beehive Butte as places to see from, and Big Flat, Dome Plateau, Crips Hole and Cabin Spring as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

What a day here costs you

1,461 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. The ground is gentle enough that the pack-out is a distance problem rather than a climbing one. Leave the truck earlier than you want to and you will hunt the best half-hour of the day.

What we can't tell you

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. Settle access before the season rather than during it. Some of the ground named above carries no land-status flag we trust, so check ownership on a current layer before you hunt it. We have no pronghorn success figure for this unit that survives checking against UDWR's own harvest and hunter counts, and we would rather say so than print a statewide average as though it were measured here.

Utah rules that decide your day

Summarised from UDWR regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before official sunrise to half an hour after official sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Tagging

Leaving meat

Wasting protected wildlife is a crime.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 600 feet of a house, dwelling or other building without permission, and no shooting from a vehicle or across a road.

Antelope: where to put the shot

Broadside, straight up the front leg, a third of the way into the body. Pronghorn are shallow-chested and the lungs sit forward.

Shots to refuse

Range it, then range it again. Open country makes 400 yards look like 250.
Wait for the buck to stop. Nobody kills a running pronghorn cleanly on purpose.
Mind the backdrop. A miss carries a long way across a flat.

Plan the carry: roughly 30– 45 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — one large cooler with ice already in it. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.
