Area 92 covers the Teton Wilderness and the upper Buffalo Fork drainage in the Bridger-Teton NF country east of Grand Teton National Park—deep wilderness country leading toward the Yellowstone boundary. Elevations run from about 6,800 feet on the Buffalo Fork bottom to over 12,000 feet on the high crest. The Teton Wilderness covers about 585,000 acres—one of the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48 outside Alaska—and forms a critical roadless block in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The forest is deep: lodgepole pine and aspen on the lower slopes, Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir at mid-elevations, whitebark pine on the highest exposed ridges, and alpine meadow and rock above timberline. Major drainages include the Buffalo Fork, Pacific Creek, the upper Yellowstone, and Soda Fork.
Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness dominate. Trailheads off Buffalo Valley Road and the Pacific Creek Road provide wilderness entry. Moran has gas and basics; Jackson is the full-service hub. Cell service drops past Moran. Pack-in wilderness hunting—most successful elk hunters use horse strings, and the distances and elevation gain demand it. Quality elk migrating off the Yellowstone Plateau through the Teton Wilderness during fall, mule deer in the aspens, and the country is core grizzly bear habitat. Bear protocol on every aspect of camp life. Snow can shut the high country by mid-October.

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.
