Known as the Arizona Strip, this remote region is home to arguably the largest mule deer in the world along with huntable numbers of antelope and desert bighorn sheep. The state manages deer so that bucks get old enough to attain trophy size. More than 90% public, this unit has great access via numerous backcountry roads.

Trophy mule deer hunting is incredible, but the chances of drawing a tag are virtually zero unless you have the maximum number of bonus points. This unit is a great destination for hunters seeking the Nelsoni classification of desert bighorn. Antelope numbers are low.

The unit includes the BLM Arizona Strip District, part of the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument and part of the Grand Canyon National Park.

Most of the unit is in the middle part of its elevation range, consisting of rolling hills and canyons with sagebrush, cliffrose, bitterbrush, pinyon pines and junipers. Two parts of the unit are mountains and high mesas that have juniper, oak and some ponderosa pines. The lowest elevations are desert canyons with cactus and some grasses.

Public backcountry roads access much of the rugged terrain of the Arizona Strip and because more than 90% of the Strip is public land, there is no problem getting to hunting areas. Several remote areas require hikes of well more than a mile. Hunting is permitted on state and BLM property as well as the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument and the Arizona part of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Grand Canyon National Park is closed to hunting.

Much of unit 13B is far from towns. St. George, Utah is near the northern border, and Mesquite, Nevada is near the western border. Lodging is available in both towns, but driving to most deer hunting areas from either city is long and difficult. Sheep hunters might stay in town, but most deer hunters camp along roads. Camping is permitted on BLM land. Only one developed campground exists in 13B.
