Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit Pine Valley, Beaver Dam
What UDWR publishes for unit Pine Valley, Beaver Dam is a boundary, not a bighorn sheep map. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Iron and Washington counties. It runs to about 2,446 square miles.
What bounds unit Pine Valley, Beaver Dam
UDWR draws unit Pine Valley, Beaver Dam in Iron and Washington counties with a boundary that runs on I-15, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Signal Peak, Burger Peak and Big Point
Named high points inside the unit include Signal Peak at 10,358 feet, Burger Peak at 10,294 feet, Big Point at 10,000 feet, Pine Valley Mountains at 9,941 feet and Pine Ridge at 9,720 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: Teds Pasture, Mill Flat and Bare Valley
Below them sit Teds Pasture at 8,885 feet, Mill Flat at 8,607 feet, Bare Valley at 8,552 feet, Anderson Valley at 8,477 feet and Sheep Pens at 8,380 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.
Water: Calf Springs, Eightmile Springs and Crystal Springs
The water inside the unit line comes to 1,204 mapped stream reaches, 14 lakes, 350 stock tanks and 68 springs. Named sources include Calf Springs, Eightmile Springs, Crystal Springs, Antelope Springs, Willow Spring and Rock 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 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 3,611 feet to 7,983 feet, averaging 5,829 — that is a lot of vertical to cover, and it means the season you draw decides which half of the unit you hunt.
