Unit 12

Edit
Unit 12 (Oquirrh-Stansbury) is a general-season deer unit with limited-entry elk and limited-entry pronghorn tags available through the bonus-point draw. Elk draw difficulty is moderate — roughly 10-15 bonus points for a bull tag — and the Stansbury Mountains produce the majority of the unit's quality bulls. CWMU options are limited due to the land ownership patterns (mining, military, wilderness), though some private ranch land on the Stansbury side participates. The unit qualifies for the Dedicated Hunter program for deer. The Deseret Peak Wilderness on the Stansbury Range prohibits motorized access but provides quality backcountry elk hunting. Unit 12 is known for the challenge of hunting around mining restrictions and military boundaries on the Oquirrh side, making the Stansbury Range the practical focus for most public-land hunters seeking elk and mule deer.
