AI Scout Preview

WY 122 – Shoshone River. Terrain & Access WY 122 spans 635,000 acres across a moderate elevation range (3,626–6,530 ft), with roughly two-thirds public land. This mixed-elevation unit accommodates both valley and foothill hunting, offering varied terrain from sagebrush flats to forested slopes. The public-land percentage supports self-guided access for most hunters, though private land interspersed throughout the unit requires route planning and respect for boundaries.

This is a healthy, balanced composition typical of units..
