Roughly 20% of elk hunts in Arizona take place in this giant unit, which is nearly all public land. Featuring desert as well as pine and aspen forests, 6A has mule deer, Coues deer, pronghorn antelope and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.

The state issues a lot of elk tags. Early archery elk season occurs during the rut. Late muzzleloader elk season can also be good. While this unit has a difficult mule deer hunt, the December rifle Coues deer season produces high quality bucks. This is one of Arizona's few units with Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.
