Hunting | GMU 50
Elk: Healthy migratory herd with strong archery and rifle season opportunities, especially early and late season. Archery and muzzleloader tags typically draw with 0–1 points; later rifle seasons require 1–3 points.
Mule Deer: Solid population with mature bucks in high plains, aspen, and timbered hillsides. Most seasons require 1–3 points for licenses.
Antelope: Stable pronghorn herd in rolling sagebrush and grasslands. Rifle season hunting is productive, though tags usually require several years of points to draw.
Access: Nearby public lands include James Mark Jones State Wildlife Area, Pike National Forest, and extensive BLM tracts — all just minutes away.
