Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit Nine Mile, Anthro-myton Bench
What UDWR publishes for unit Nine Mile, Anthro-myton Bench is a boundary, not a pronghorn map. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Duchesne and Uintah counties. It runs to about 1,027 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Argyle Canyon, Nine Mile Canyon and Bulls Canyon
UDWR draws unit Nine Mile, Anthro-myton Bench in Duchesne and Uintah counties with a boundary that runs on Argyle Canyon, Nine Mile Canyon, Bulls Canyon and Nine Mile Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. 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: Cottonwood Ridge, Anthro Mountain and Wild Horse Ridge
Named high points inside the unit include Cottonwood Ridge at 9,124 feet, Anthro Mountain at 9,091 feet, Wild Horse Ridge at 8,863 feet, Bad Land Cliffs at 7,109 feet and Spring Bench at 6,729 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: Clement Hollow, Y Canyon and Trail Hollow
Below them sit Clement Hollow at 7,752 feet, Y Canyon at 7,736 feet, Trail Hollow at 7,656 feet, Mill Hollow at 7,618 feet and Wolf Hollow at 7,575 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: Mine Hollow Spring, Nutters Spring and Odekirk Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 32 mapped stream reaches, 6 lakes, 32 stock tanks and 1 springs. Named sources include Mine Hollow Spring, Nutters Spring, Odekirk Spring and Snyder 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 32% 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 4,781 feet to 7,820 feet, averaging 6,178 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
