Topography and Vegetation: This area is made up of a mix of mostly open sagebrush flats with some very limited juniper in the broken country in the very southern portion of the hunt area. The topography of the area can generally be described as flat open country with interspersed mesas/buttes as well as some hilly country in the southern and northcentral part of the area. There are also riparian habitats dominated by cottonwoods and willows on the western edge of the hunt area along the Green River.

General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area:  Many of the deer that use this area are migratory, traveling north to summer in the Hoback Basin and Wind River Mountains, only moving into this area in the winter months. There are some small resident populations that stay year round in the Leucite Hills, around the town of Superior, in the Jack Morrow Hills/Steamboat/Essex Mountain areas, and along the Green River. In general, deer numbers during the hunting season are low in this area as the arid environment and limited mountain shrubs do not allow for many deer to survive in this desert area. 

White-tailed Deer Opportunities: There are a few white-tailed deer in Hunt Area 131 concentrated mostly along the Green River and around the agricultural fields near Farson.    

Additional Hunting Opportunities: Hunting opportunities for small game species are limited to sage-grouse, cottontails, and a few chukars. Both sage-grouse and cottontails are widespread and can be abundant in this area, but chukars are limited to the rough canyon lands around White Mountain.  Consult the Chapter 11 Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits.
