Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit South Slope, Bonanza/diamond Mtn
UDWR draws an exact line around unit South Slope, Bonanza/diamond Mtn and says nothing about where the pronghorn stand inside it. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Daggett and Uintah counties. It runs to about 1,225 square miles.
The lines of the unit: Green River, Gorge Creek and Diamond Mountain
UDWR draws unit South Slope, Bonanza/diamond Mtn in Daggett and Uintah counties with a boundary that runs on Green River, Gorge Creek, Diamond Mountain and Brush Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: Hoy Mountain, Stuntz Ridge and Cliff Ridge
Named high points inside the unit include Hoy Mountain at 8,834 feet, Stuntz Ridge at 8,371 feet, Cliff Ridge at 8,227 feet, Red Knoll at 7,826 feet and Diamond Mountain at 7,787 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: Blair Basin, Betts Cove and Dry Hollow
Below them sit Blair Basin at 7,697 feet, Betts Cove at 7,656 feet, Dry Hollow at 7,636 feet, Diamond Mountain Plateau at 7,494 feet and Docs Valley at 7,481 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: Sears Spring, Spitzenberg Spring and Limestone Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 55 mapped stream reaches, 33 lakes, 52 stock tanks and 1 springs. Named sources include Sears Spring, Spitzenberg Spring, Limestone Spring, Boone Spring, Jones Hole Springs and Coal Bed 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 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 4,687 feet to 8,090 feet, averaging 5,757 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
