At a Glance
Largely private, this area has big numbers of mule deer and decent numbers of elk on a few narrow mountain ranges near Malad and west of Downey. Rifle bull tags are limited and available only through the annual drawing. Archery tags are sold over the counter.
Mule deer thrive in this unit and are recovering from drought, severe winters, predation, overhunting and other factors. Elk hunters can buy archery tags over-the-counter or draw rifle tags.
Quick Tips
- GPS with land ownership memory cards are recommended
- Rifle hunters are guaranteed a buck tag if they apply
- Private lands block easy access to some public mountains
