Utah Bighorn Sheep Elk Mule Deer Mountain Goat Pronghorn Bear

Unit 22 (Beaver)

Utah Hunting Guide — Bighorn Sheep, Elk, Mule Deer, Mountain Goat, Pronghorn, Bear

Unit 22 encompasses the Tushar Mountains near Beaver — home to one of Utah's Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep herds. The shared unit geography spans Iron, Garfield, Piute, Beaver, and Millard counties (UDWR 2020 deer plan — big-game seasons share the same unit boundary). Summer range is USFS-dominated (70%) with BLM at 22%; winter range flips to BLM-dominant (68%). The Tushar Mountains are the highest range in Utah outside the Uintas, reaching over 12,000 feet, and the alpine terrain provides spectacular bighorn habitat.

Bighorn Sheep Hunting in Unit 22

Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit 22

Bighorn sheep in the Beaver unit inhabit the high, rugged terrain of the Tushar Mountains — Utah's highest peaks outside the Uinta Range.

Alpine Ridges and Cliffs (10,500–12,000 ft)

During summer and early fall, rams occupy the highest alpine terrain — cliff bands, rocky ridges, and talus slopes above timberline. They use the vertical terrain for security, bedding on ledges with commanding views and feeding in the alpine meadows and grassy slopes between rock outcrops.

Mountain Bowls and Cirques

The glacial cirques and bowls on the upper Tushar Mountains hold bighorn sheep throughout the season. These protected basins provide feed and shelter from wind while keeping sheep near escape terrain. Glass the rim edges and the grassy areas within the bowls.

Lower Migration Routes

As winter approaches and snow builds at the highest elevations, rams begin moving to lower cliffs and south-facing slopes. Late-season hunters may find rams at 8,000-10,000 feet on the rocky outcrops and cliff bands below the main alpine zone.

How to Hunt Bighorn Sheep in Unit 22

Bighorn sheep hunting in the Tushars is a high-alpine pursuit that demands physical fitness and patience.

Pre-Season Scouting

This is a once-in-a-lifetime tag — scout extensively before the season. Summer trips to glass the alpine basins and identify specific rams are essential. Photograph rams and learn their individual characteristics. Know which basins hold the best rams before opening day.

Alpine Glassing

Set up on commanding ridgelines above timberline and glass the surrounding cliff bands and cirques. Bighorn sheep are relatively easy to spot against the rock — their lighter body color stands out. Use a quality spotting scope to judge horn size from distance. Plan to spend entire days behind optics.

Patient Stalking

Once you've located a target ram, plan your approach carefully. Use the terrain — ridges, couloirs, and rock formations — to close distance while staying out of sight. Bighorn sheep have exceptional eyesight and rely on their cliff terrain for security. Approach from above when possible, using the broken alpine terrain for concealment. A successful stalk may take an entire day.

Weather Windows

The Tushar Mountains are exposed to severe weather at elevation. Plan hunts around weather windows — calm, clear days allow effective glassing and safe movement on the alpine terrain. Storms can pin you in camp for days. Be prepared to wait for conditions to improve.

Bighorn Sheep Success Rates

Beaver bighorn sheep success rates are very high — typically 80-95% — due to the extremely limited tags (often 3-5 per year) and pre-season scouting that most tag holders invest in. Ram quality is exceptional, with most harvested rams scoring 170-185 inches. The Tushar herd is well-managed and produces rams that rival any Rocky Mountain bighorn population in the West.

Bighorn Sheep Draw Odds

Search Utah Draw Odds

Bighorn sheep is a once-in-a-lifetime (OIAL) species in Utah — you can only draw one tag in your lifetime. With only 3-5 tags issued per year and thousands of applicants, the odds are extremely low even with maximum bonus points. Most successful applicants have 20+ points, but the weighted random draw means some draw with fewer. Apply every year from the moment you're eligible and hope for the best.

Elk Hunting in Unit 22

Unit 22 covers the Tushar Mountains near Beaver — a high-elevation range that supports a quality limited-entry elk herd. The shared unit (Iron, Garfield, Piute, Beaver, and Millard counties per the UDWR 2020 deer plan) has summer range that is 70% USFS and winter range 68% BLM. The Tushar Mountains reach over 12,000 feet, providing extensive alpine and subalpine elk habitat rarely found in southern Utah. The unit's isolation and limited tag numbers allow bulls to reach impressive maturity.

Where to Find Elk in Unit 22

Elk in the Beaver unit use the full elevation range of the Tushar Mountains, from the aspen benches to the subalpine meadows.

Subalpine Meadows (9,000–11,000 ft)

The meadow systems in the upper Tushar Mountains hold elk during summer and early fall. Bulls feed in these high parks at dawn and dusk, retreating to the spruce-fir timber during the day. Glass from ridgelines above the meadow edges.

Aspen-Spruce Transition (8,000–9,500 ft)

The transition zone between aspen and spruce-fir forests is prime elk terrain. Bulls use the cover of the transition zone for security while feeding in the adjacent openings. This zone holds the most elk during rifle season.

Lower Canyons

As snow builds on the high peaks, elk push into the lower canyons and south-facing slopes. Late-season hunters find elk concentrated in the canyons and benches at 7,000-8,500 feet.

How to Hunt Elk in Unit 22

The Tushar Mountains provide excellent elk hunting terrain with good glassing opportunities and productive calling.

High-Country Glassing

The Tushar's dramatic elevation relief creates outstanding glassing terrain. Set up on the upper ridges and glass the basins and benches below. The open subalpine terrain allows you to cover vast areas efficiently. A quality spotting scope is essential at these distances.

Rut Calling

September archery hunters on the Tushars enjoy excellent bugling. The high-elevation basins amplify sound, and bulls respond from long distances. Use location bugles from ridgetops, then set up downwind of a responding bull. The relatively low pressure means bulls are less call-shy than in heavily hunted units.

Timber Edge Ambush

During rifle season, set up on the timber edges where elk exit cover to feed in the meadows. Morning and evening movement is predictable — bulls follow established trails from bedding timber to feeding meadows. Find these trails and set up an ambush point.

Elk Success Rates

Beaver elk success rates are among the highest in Utah — typically 45-60% for rifle. The limited tags (often 15-25 total), minimal pressure, and excellent habitat produce outstanding results. Bull quality is exceptional, with most harvested bulls scoring 330-370 inches and occasional 380+ bulls taken. The Tushar elk herd is one of Utah's best-kept secrets.

Open in Draw Odds Engine

Beaver elk tags are among Utah's most competitive limited-entry permits. Rifle tags typically require 15-22 bonus points. The unit's exceptional bull quality and trophy potential keep demand very high. Archery is slightly more accessible at 8-14 points. This is a long-term commitment, but the trophy quality justifies the wait.

Mule Deer Hunting in Unit 22

The Tushar Mountains near Beaver support a quality mule deer population — managed as a general-season unit for 18-20 bucks per 100 does 3-year average post-season ratio (UDWR 2020 plan). Target winter herd: 14,000 deer (up from 13,000 in the 2015 plan; 10-year average 13,200). The high-elevation unit spans Iron, Garfield, Piute, Beaver, and Millard counties, with summer range USFS-dominated (70%) and winter range BLM-dominated (68%). Fawn recruitment is identified as the primary limiting factor.

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 22

Mule deer in the Beaver unit occupy the mid and lower elevations of the Tushar range, generally below the elk and bighorn sheep.

Oak Brush and Mountain Mahogany (6,500–8,500 ft)

The oak brush and mountain mahogany zones on the lower Tushar slopes hold the bulk of the mule deer population. Bucks bed in the thick brush during the day and feed along the edges at dawn and dusk.

Aspen Benches (8,000–9,500 ft)

Aspen groves at mid-elevation provide excellent mule deer habitat. Bucks use the open understory for travel and the regeneration areas for bedding. Look for rub lines and browse patterns in the aspens.

Canyon Systems

The canyons cutting into the Tushar range channel deer movement and provide glassing opportunities. The rimrock and cliff features in these canyons hold mature bucks that are difficult to access.

How to Hunt Mule Deer in Unit 22

Beaver mule deer respond well to classic mountain mule deer tactics with an emphasis on glassing.

Canyon Rim Glassing

Set up on the rim of the canyons cutting through the unit and glass the opposing slopes. Focus on the oak brush-to-aspen transitions where bucks feed at the edges. Morning light on east-facing slopes reveals deer early.

Rut Cruising

During November, bucks cruise actively through the oak brush and aspen seeking does. Position yourself at vantage points overlooking known doe areas and watch for cruising bucks. The rut is the best time to catch mature bucks in the open.

Snow Tracking

Fresh snow on the Tushars reveals deer movement patterns. Follow fresh tracks through the aspen and PJ, glassing ahead at every opening. Approach bedding areas from above and downwind.

Mule Deer Success Rates

Beaver mule deer success rates average 40-55% for rifle. The limited tags, low pressure, and quality habitat combine for strong results. Most harvested bucks score 165-185 inches, with occasional bucks in the 190+ class. The unit is an excellent option for hunters who want trophy-quality mule deer without the extreme draw commitments of the Henry Mountains or Paunsaugunt.

Open in Draw Odds Engine

Beaver mule deer tags require 10-16 bonus points for rifle. Archery is more accessible at 5-9 points. The unit offers a realistic path to a quality mule deer hunt within 12-18 years of point building — longer than mid-tier units but shorter than the Henry Mountains or Paunsaugunt.

Mountain Goat Hunting in Unit 22

The Beaver unit is a Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) managed hunt area in the Tushar Mountains region of central-southern Utah. Mountain goat permits here are issued through Utah's weighted-random bonus-point draw, making this a true once-in-a-lifetime trophy opportunity. Tag numbers are tightly limited to protect herd health, and the unit's high-elevation alpine terrain demands serious physical preparation from hunters fortunate enough to draw.

Where to Find Mountain Goats in Beaver

Mountain goats in the Beaver unit occupy the steepest, rockiest alpine country the unit offers. Finding them is almost entirely a function of getting eyes on the right terrain from the right glassing vantage.

High Alpine Cliffs and Talus

Focus on sheer cliff bands, talus slides, and rocky outcrops above timberline. Goats rarely stray far from escape terrain and will bed on small ledges that look impossible to reach.

Basins and Saddles

Alpine basins with scattered rock and green feed hold goats in summer and early fall. Check saddles between drainages at first and last light — goats travel these routes between feeding areas.

South and West Faces

Once snow begins to accumulate, goats shift toward warmer south- and west-facing slopes that stay clear of deep drifts and offer exposed feed.

How to Hunt Mountain Goats in Beaver

A mountain goat hunt in the Beaver unit is a high-alpine glassing and stalking hunt. Success depends on locating animals from a distance and then closing carefully through steep terrain.

Glass First, Hike Second

Set up with quality optics on a vantage that lets you pick apart multiple cliff bands and basins at once. Goats are surprisingly easy to spot against dark rock thanks to their white coats — but they blend into snow patches, so scan slowly.

Plan the Stalk Around the Shot

Getting close is the easy part. Recovering a goat off a cliff is the hard part. Pick billies holding on terrain you can safely reach after the shot, even if it means passing on animals in impossible positions.

Physical Conditioning

This is one of the most physical hunts in North America. Train with weighted pack hikes at elevation for months before the season. Expect day hikes of 6-10 miles with 3,000+ feet of gain.

Mountain Goat Success Rates

Mountain goat hunts in Utah consistently produce some of the highest success rates of any big-game hunt — often 80-95% — because tags are few and hunters are highly motivated. The limiting factor is finding a mature billy, not finding an animal at all. Plan for a multi-day hunt and be selective early.

Utah manages mountain goat permits through UDWR's weighted-random bonus-point draw. Applicants with more bonus points get more chances in the random draw but nothing is guaranteed. With very few tags issued and thousands of applicants over a 3-year window, expect a long point-building commitment. This is a true once-in-a-lifetime Utah permit.

Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 22

The Beaver pronghorn unit sits in south-central Utah and is administered by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) under the state's weighted-bonus-point limited-entry draw. Pronghorn use broad sage-grass valleys and lower foothill breaks. Tag numbers are moderate relative to applicant demand, so most successful applicants carry several bonus points.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Beaver

Pronghorn distribute across sagebrush valleys and the lower foothill fringes throughout the unit.

Sage-Grass Valleys

Glass the broad valley flats at first light from elevated points along the foothills. Scattered bands usually feed in the open until midmorning.

Foothill Benches

During midday heat, pronghorn drift up onto shallow benches where wind and slight elevation offer relief.

How to Hunt Beaver Pronghorn

Standard pronghorn tactics — glass big, stalk smart — work well here.

Glass-First Approach

Locate a mature buck from distance before committing to a stalk. Tripod-mounted binoculars and a spotting scope save time and wasted miles.

Terrain-Based Stalks

Use rolls in the terrain, washes, and sage to close within a rifle-reasonable 250 to 350 yards.

Access Check

Confirm private-land boundaries before the hunt using the UDWR Hunt Boundary map and county parcel data.

Open in Draw Odds Engine

Utah uses a weighted-bonus-point draw for limited-entry pronghorn. Nonresident quota is capped at roughly 10% of permits, and point creep on popular units like Beaver has pushed realistic draw outcomes into the mid-single-digit bonus-point range or higher.

Bear Hunting in Unit 22

The Beaver black bear unit covers the Tushar Mountains in Beaver and Piute counties — a rugged, timbered range with some of southern Utah's best bear density. UDWR draw statistics show about 535 applicants chasing ~30 permits over three years across season types — modest odds for a quality bear unit. The 2025 Utah Big Game Guidebook lists Beaver under spring, summer, and fall bear seasons with method restrictions that vary by date.

Where to Find Bears in Beaver

The Tushars are steep, wet, and heavily timbered — real bear country. Four habitat features concentrate bears seasonally.

Oak Brush Benches

Acorn crop on scrub oak drives fall bear movement. During strong acorn years, bears feed heavily on oak-brush benches at 7,000-8,500 feet.

Berry Patches and Old Burns

Serviceberry, chokecherry, and raspberry patches in old burn scars pull bears from mid-July through August.

Aspen and Subalpine Meadows

Spring bears feed on green-up in high-elevation meadows. We glass the edge of aspen bordering open meadows at dawn and dusk.

Drainages Near Big Rock Candy and Puffer Lake

Stream bottoms with dense canopy hold bedded bears during midday heat. Dogs or baiting (where legal) move bears out of these pockets.

How to Hunt Bears in Beaver

Utah bear seasons run spring, summer, and fall with different legal methods. Know which season the tag is for before scouting.

Spring Spot-and-Stalk

Post up on a vantage over green-up meadows at first and last light. A feeding spring boar offers the best chance at a mature bear.

Summer Pursuit and Hound Hunts

Dogged hunts run summer bears efficiently. If we're on a hound permit, we work the cool-of-morning drainage bottoms where scent holds.

Fall Oak-Brush Ambush

During oak-mast years, we glass south-facing oak benches and stalk feeding bears. Patience pays — a bear will feed heavily in the same area for days.

Bait Rules

Utah allows bait for some bear hunts under registered station rules. We follow UDWR bait regulations exactly — registration, setback, and signage requirements matter.

Bear Success Rates

Beaver bear success varies sharply by season and method. Hound hunters consistently post 60-80% success; spot-and-stalk spring hunters run 15-30%; fall hunts depend heavily on acorn mast. Trophy-quality boars over 300 pounds are harvested every year on the Tushars, which is why the draw stays competitive despite a smaller applicant pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does once-in-a-lifetime mean for Utah bighorn sheep?

In Utah, bighorn sheep is classified as an OIAL species. You can only draw one bighorn sheep tag in your lifetime, regardless of unit. Once you draw and hunt (even if unsuccessful), you cannot apply again. This makes the tag incredibly precious and motivates extensive pre-season preparation.

Should I hire a guide for my Beaver bighorn sheep hunt?

Strongly recommended. This is a once-in-a-lifetime tag in challenging alpine terrain. An experienced guide with knowledge of the Tushar bighorn herd dramatically increases your odds of locating and harvesting a quality ram. Most tag holders invest in guided or semi-guided hunts.

How physically demanding is the Beaver bighorn hunt?

Very demanding. You'll be hunting above 10,000 feet on steep, rocky terrain with significant altitude exposure. Start a fitness program months before the season and spend time at elevation to acclimatize. Hunters who are not in excellent cardiovascular shape will struggle.

How does Beaver elk compare to the Book Cliffs?

Both produce exceptional bulls (330-370+ class), but the terrain is very different. Beaver is high-mountain with spruce-fir and alpine terrain, while the Book Cliffs are desert canyons. Beaver tends to be more physically demanding due to elevation but has better road access to mid-elevation areas. Draw odds are similar — both require 15-20+ points.

Is the Tushar Mountain range too high for older hunters?

The Tushar Mountains reach over 12,000 feet, and much of the elk habitat is above 8,000 feet. Altitude can be challenging for anyone, regardless of age. However, some effective hunting can be done from roads at mid-elevation, and late-season hunts when elk move lower reduce the altitude demand. Physical preparation and acclimatization are important for all hunters.

How does Beaver mule deer compare to the Paunsaugunt?

Beaver produces very good bucks (165-185 class) but doesn't quite reach the Paunsaugunt level (180-200+). The trade-off is significantly easier draw odds — Beaver draws with 10-16 points versus 18-25+ for the Paunsaugunt. For many hunters, the Beaver is the sweet spot between quality and accessibility.

Can I hunt multiple species in Unit 22 the same year?

Only if you draw tags for each species separately. Elk and mule deer have independent draw systems with separate bonus points. Bighorn sheep is a once-in-a-lifetime tag. It's theoretically possible but extremely unlikely to hold multiple tags for the same unit in one year.

How does Utah's mountain goat draw work?

Utah uses a weighted-random bonus-point draw administered by UDWR. Each bonus point adds an additional chance in the random drawing, but there is no guaranteed point threshold — every applicant has some chance every year.

Is a mountain goat hunt in Beaver a once-in-a-lifetime tag?

Yes — Utah classifies mountain goat as a once-in-a-lifetime species, meaning drawing a permit removes you from future mountain goat draws in the state.

What bonus point level typically draws Beaver pronghorn?

Because Utah's draw is weighted rather than guaranteed, there's no firm cutoff — but most successful applicants carry several bonus points. Review UDWR's published odds report each spring for current numbers.

What weapons are allowed?

Utah offers archery, muzzleloader, and any-legal-weapon pronghorn seasons depending on the hunt code; check the current UDWR big game guidebook for the specific Beaver hunt dates and weapon choices.

Can I bait bears on the Beaver unit?

Utah allows bait under registered-station rules for specific seasons and sub-hunts. Verify the current Utah Big Game Guidebook bear section and register any bait station with UDWR before setting one up.

Is the Beaver a hound unit?

Yes, Beaver runs hound and pursuit sub-hunts during summer and some fall seasons. Check the 2025 Guidebook for the specific season-and-method mix for the year you're applying.

How big do Tushar bears get?

Mature Tushar boars routinely hit 300+ pounds dressed with occasional bears pushing 400. Color-phase bears (cinnamon, chocolate) are harvested here most seasons.
