WY Elk Unit 34 — Upper Powder River

WY 34 — Upper Powder River. Terrain & Access Upper Powder River spans nearly 530,000 acres across an elevation range from 4,595 to 10,481 feet, offering diverse habitat from lower valley floors to high alpine country. The unit encompasses roughly 41% public land, meaning access to elk country requires a mix of public-land routes and negotiated private-land crossings. The substantial elevation variation supports both lower-country early-season habitat and high-elevation refuge areas, providing hunters flexibility in how they approach different terrain zones. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show an above-average/strong bull:cow ratio of 37:100, indicating a well-managed herd..
