Edit
Unit 114 covers the country south of the Schell Creek Range and east of US 93, including the northern Wilson Creek Range. Elevations run from about 5,500 feet in the basins to over 9,500 feet on the higher peaks. The country is high sage in the basins, pinon-juniper on the benches, mahogany on the upper slopes, and limber pine on the highest north faces. Spring Valley to the east is broad and green from the irrigated ranches; the country west is drier. Mostly BLM with Humboldt-Toiyabe NF on the higher ground and private ranches on the springs. US 93 is the paved corridor; gravel reaches the canyons. Pioche and Ely are the supply towns, both an hour or more from the back country. Cell service is gone. Mule deer is the primary draw and the unit gets very light pressure. Pronghorn use the open valleys. The unit demands self-reliance—carry extra fuel, water, and parts. The clay roads turn slick in October storms.

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.
