WY Elk Unit 122 — Pine Ridge

WY 122 — Pine Ridge. Terrain & Access Pine Ridge spans 817,000 acres across low to mid-elevation terrain (4,822–6,311 ft), mixing sagebrush, grassland, and scattered forest. With just 26% public land, the unit is predominantly private. Access concentrates on public parcels and limited road corridors; much hunting pressure centers on accessible drainages and lower-elevation country where private land abuts public sections. The majority of the unit requires permission to cross or hunt private property, which significantly constrains unguided hunting options. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys indicate an above average/strong bull:cow ratio, reflecting a healthy breeding-age male population..
