WY Elk Unit 35 — Hunter Mesa
AI Scout Preview
WY 35 — Hunter Mesa. Terrain & Access Hunter Mesa spans 160,704 acres across dramatic vertical relief, rising from 4,622 feet to over 12,400 feet. The unit offers substantial public-land access (71%), with good opportunity for self-reliant hunters willing to cover distance across varied terrain. Road access penetrates the lower and mid-elevation zones; higher country becomes progressively roadless and requires hiking or stock work. Wilderness comprises 18% of the unit. Nonresidents hunting in these designated wilderness areas must hire a licensed Wyoming outfitter or guide — this is state law. The remaining 82% of the unit is open..
