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 Nine Mile, Range Creek
UDWR's material on unit Nine Mile, Range Creek stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its pronghorn live. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. It runs to about 1,543 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Green River, Argyle Canyon and Nine Mile Canyon
UDWR draws unit Nine Mile, Range Creek with a boundary that runs on I-70, and on Green River, Argyle Canyon, Nine Mile Canyon and Bulls Canyon, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. 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: Patmos Ridge, Mount Bartles and Range Valley Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Patmos Ridge at 9,926 feet, Mount Bartles at 9,923 feet, Range Valley Mountain at 9,834 feet, Patmos Head at 9,832 feet and Cottonwood Ridge at 9,691 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: Bull Flat, Little Spring Canyon and Mule Canyon
Below them sit Bull Flat at 7,988 feet, Little Spring Canyon at 7,987 feet, Mule Canyon at 7,968 feet, South Patterfore Canyon at 7,907 feet and Mill Canyon at 7,889 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: Dancehall Spring, Downard Spring and Daddy Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 230 mapped stream reaches, 14 lakes, 40 stock tanks and 45 springs. Named sources include Dancehall Spring, Downard Spring, Daddy Spring, Mac Spring, Petes Spring and Burnt Cabin 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 85% and BLM 15%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 5,063 feet to 8,814 feet, averaging 6,610 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.

The lay of it
- 5,063–8,814 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 6,610 ft ; peaks can run higher.
- 1,542.5 sq mi inside the boundary. Big enough that picking one drainage beats driving three.
Who owns the ground
- BLM — 15%
- Private / Other — 85%
Roughly 15% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.
Water on the ground
- 40 tanks
- 45 springs
- 230 stream segments
- 14 lakes
Counts from mapping data, so this is how many exist, not how many hold water in a dry year. Sitting water only pays where you find fresh tracks.
