WY Elk Unit 80 — Sheep Creek

WY 80 – Sheep Creek. Terrain & Access Sheep Creek spans high country between 6,300 and 11,200 feet across nearly 57,000 acres of virtually all public land. Wilderness comprises 71% of the unit—nearly three-quarters of huntable terrain lies in designated wilderness, which means nonresidents must hire a licensed Wyoming outfitter or guide to legally hunt this area. This is a hard regulatory requirement, not a recommendation. For residents, unguided wilderness hunting is permitted, but the steep, remote terrain still demands serious backcountry fitness and navigation skills. Herd Quality Wildlife surveys show an above-average/strong bull:cow ratio of 46:100—well..
