Unit 1 (Cache) is a general-season unit for buck deer and operates under Utah's bonus-point system for limited-entry elk, meaning unsuccessful applicants earn one bonus point per year that increases their odds in future draws but does not guarantee a tag at any threshold. CWMU properties exist in the Cache Valley foothills, and a small number of landowner association (LOA) tags are available, providing an alternative path for those willing to pay for private-land access. The unit is eligible for the Dedicated Hunter program, which requires a three-year commitment and 40 hours of service but grants a general-season deer tag each year of the commitment. Elk tags on Unit 1 are limited-entry and difficult to draw, typically requiring 10-plus bonus points for a reasonable probability. The unit is known for solid mule deer hunting in thick northern Wasatch aspen and oak brush, with consistent harvest of respectable four-point bucks in the Bear River Range.
