Edit
Area 110 covers the northeastern Bighorn Mountains around Burgess Junction and the Tongue River drainage—the country running between Sheridan and the Big Horn Basin via US-14 over Granite Pass. Elevations run from about 5,500 feet on the lower foothill benches to over 11,000 feet on the high Bighorn crest. The country grades from sage and grass on the lower benches, through mountain mahogany, ponderosa, and Douglas fir on the foothills, into aspen and lodgepole through the mid-elevations, with Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and alpine country on the highest ridges. The Tongue River and its forks cut deep canyons through the eastern slope. Sand Turn pullout on US-14 is a classic Wyoming overlook—the entire eastern slope laid out below you and Sheridan visible in the distance. Burgess Junction sits at the saddle where US-14 and US-14A divide.
Bighorn National Forest dominates the high country, with BLM and significant private ranch in the foothills. US-14 over Granite Pass and US-14A over Bald Mountain frame the access; forest roads off both reach into the timber. Sheridan is the full-service supply hub; Burgess Junction is a tiny outpost with a lodge and gas. Cell service drops past town. Quality elk in the mid-elevation timber and meadow margins, mule deer in the foothill mahogany and aspens, antelope on the lower sage benches. Heavy local pressure during the rifle openers because Sheridan is right there and the country is accessible.

Recent Trophy Scores · 2020–2025
Trophy score data is tracked by county, so the overlap with GMU boundaries is approximate. These numbers tell you whether the area is capable of growing big animals — they do not indicate public vs. private land. Big elk can come from anywhere; most elk in the lower 48 trace back to Yellowstone stock that was transplanted west after the species was nearly extirpated in the early 1900s.
