Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit San Juan, Hatch Point
UDWR's material on unit San Juan, Hatch Point 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. The unit lies in Grand and San Juan counties. It runs to about 1,116 square miles.
What bounds unit San Juan, Hatch Point
UDWR draws unit San Juan, Hatch Point in Grand and San Juan counties with a boundary that runs on Colorado River, 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: Pine Ridge, Ray Mesa and West Summit
Named high points inside the unit include Pine Ridge at 7,857 feet, Ray Mesa at 7,532 feet, West Summit at 7,385 feet, Deerneck Mesa at 7,296 feet and Three Step Hill at 7,239 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: Buck Draw, Bear Trap Canyon and Iron Spring Canyon
Below them sit Buck Draw at 6,641 feet, Bear Trap Canyon at 6,588 feet, Iron Spring Canyon at 6,552 feet, Lisbon Gap at 6,440 feet and Lisbon Valley at 6,331 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.
Water: Rustler Spring, Sop Spring and King Bottom Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 898 mapped stream reaches, 8 lakes, 187 stock tanks and 24 springs. Named sources include Rustler Spring, Sop Spring, King Bottom Spring, Trout Water Canyon Spring and Peters 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 17%, BLM 15% 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 4,284 feet to 7,167 feet, averaging 6,006 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
