OR Bighorn Sheep Unit 559A — S Snake Rvr

OR 559A – South Snake River. Terrain & Access This 108,837-acre unit spans dramatic elevation from 1,209 feet along river corridors to nearly 7,000 feet in high country, encompassing river-bottom sagebrush, ponderosa and mixed-conifer forests, and alpine ridges. All land is publicly owned—a significant advantage for access. Nearly half the unit (47%) is designated wilderness, which means navigation demands solid backcountry skills and willingness to cover remote terrain on foot. Trails exist but hunting requires steep ascents and multi-day camps in unforgiving country. Trophy Potential Wallowa County—which overlaps this unit—holds a strong record of bighorn-sheep production.
