Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit North Slope, Summit/west Daggett
UDWR's material on unit North Slope, Summit/west Daggett stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its bighorn sheep live. 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 Daggett and Summit counties. It runs to about 989 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Hayden Pass, Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Lucerne Point
UDWR draws unit North Slope, Summit/west Daggett in Daggett and Summit counties with a boundary that runs on Hayden Pass, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Lucerne Point and Cart Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. 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: Gilbert Peak, Mount Powell and Tokewanna Peak
Named high points inside the unit include Gilbert Peak at 13,452 feet, Mount Powell at 13,125 feet, Tokewanna Peak at 13,111 feet, South Burro Peak at 12,719 feet and Lamotte Peak at 12,702 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Sheep need rock to escape into and will not stand far from it.
Holding ground: McCoy Park, Bear Park and Weyman Park
Below them sit McCoy Park at 10,550 feet, Bear Park at 10,526 feet, Weyman Park at 10,521 feet, Bear Flat at 10,520 feet and Amethyst Basin at 10,432 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: Ross Spring, Scraper Spring and Leona Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 982 mapped stream reaches, 67 lakes, 381 stock tanks and 15 springs. Named sources include Ross Spring, Scraper Spring, Leona Spring, Youngs Spring, Summit Springs and Buck Spring. On ground with that many tanks, knowing which two or three hold water in your season is the most useful thing a scouting trip can tell you.
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 6,528 feet to 11,453 feet, averaging 9,655 — that is a lot of vertical to cover, and it means the season you draw decides which half of the unit you hunt.

The lay of it
- 6,528–11,453 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 9,655 ft ; peaks can run higher. That spread means you can hunt two seasons in one day — plan clothing for both ends.

Who owns the ground
- National Forest — 60%
- State Trust — 8%
- Private / Other — 32%
Roughly 68% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.
Water on the ground
- 381 tanks
- 15 springs
- 982 stream segments
- 67 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.
