This unit is found on the western side of the state and lies on the southeastern side of the town of Meeker. This area has a decent distribution of public lands but many of the areas that hold game during the later seasons is private. Good numbers of game animals can be found but hunters may find that the hurdle of public access is their biggest enemy during the hunt.
A healthy elk herd, increasing numbers of mature bucks and a few antelope on private land make this unit attractive to many hunters. Access into huntable locations can be tough during the later seasons, however.
