This unit is located in the Idaho and Clearwater counties between Hemlock and Monroe buttes. Hunters have a chance at harvesting some big moose in this unit.

Bull moose in this unit are hard to hunt because of limited numbers, steep terrain, dense forests and moose that are used to avoiding predators. Challenging hunt, but a chance for a 34-40” bull is thereHunters have had difficulty filling tags

This unit contains the Weitas Creek drainage and some other drainages of the North Fork of the Clearwater River. High points include Cook Mountain and Fox Butte. Most other ridges and peaks are below 6,000 feet with most hunting taking place between 3,000 and 5,000 feet in elevation. The canyons containing Weitas Creek, Hemlock Creek and Larch Creek are steep. The rest of the unit has moderate inclines.

The tops of the hills and mountains west of Cook Mountain are a blend of dense forests and meadows. The south side of Cook Mountain is a grassy slope with conifers on the bottom half. South and west-facing slopes along Weitas, Hemlock and Larch Creeks are open with brush, dead trees, grass and forbs. The rest of the unit is heavily timbered by firs, larches, pines, spruces, larches, aspens and cedars. Willows, birches and alders grow along creek bottoms. A lot of berry bushes grow in shady areas.

The main road is U.S. Highway 250 on the northern edge. An ATV trail that is restricted to vehicles no more than 50” wide goes a couple of miles up Weitas Creek. Forest Road 5220 branches into an ATV trail going northwest and a motorcycle trail that leads to Bighorn Point to the northeast or to Cabin Point in the opposite direction. Forest Road 555 is open to all vehicles and cuts through the unit just north of Doris Butte.

Most hunters camp along roads. No towns with lodging are nearby. There are a few campgrounds along U.S. Highway 250. Weitas Creek Campground is at the mouth of Weitas Creek near the highway, but might be closed.
