Unit 7 is the most prestigious elk hunting area in the state of Wyoming, and this property comes with access to over 4,000 acres. There are large numbers of elk to be found in the area for all seasons. This property consists of mountainous terrain, with fresh burn creating lots of new foliage for game. A few water sources, loads of room to roam, and extremely limited hunting pressure make this property a must have for the upcoming hunting season. There is a decently maintained road that will take you through the property; use of vehicles is permitted, UTVs are preferred but stick to the existing roads and two-tracks.Warning: This is an operating cattle ranch and is subject to ranching operations at any time.

Game and habitat information
Peak Foothills North is located right in the heart of Unit 7. The Elk are here for a reason, this region in Wyoming is renown for the abundance and diversity of productive elk habitat. Elk in particular, utilize the understory in both forested and mountain shrub habitats. Ponderosa Pine forests and large Aspen groves on the ranch are excellent places to target Elk due to the abundance of understory vegetation and screening cover that they offer. Another tactic is to look for recently disturbed areas such as burns, beetle kill, flooding, etc. After disturbance, the plant species that grow after an event like this is exactly what elk target, Broad leaf plants "forbs". Elk in this scenario will utilize mature forested areas for cover and move into these disturbed areas for food in early morning and evenings for a feast. Pressure from the public land will also push elk to utilize this property. Hunters must be strategic in their approach, use the land to your advantage, lots of glassing, watch the wind, and position yourself with patience to capitalize on the right opportunity.
