Bordering California and between Lakeview and the Klamath Falls Unit, this area has a variety of terrain holding elk, mule deer, antelope and California bighorn sheep.

Limited hunting pressure allows mule deer, elk, pronghorns and California bighorns to get big enough to deserve a trip to the taxidermist.

This area has marshes, lakes, creeks and rivers along with grasslands, sagebrush steppes, rimrock, foothills, mountains and wide, flat valleys. Some public land is hilly or mountainous, but some is fairly flat. Most of the mountainous terrain is managed by the Winema-Fremont National Forest. The BLM manages large tracts. Most land is between 4,000 and 7,000 feet above sea level.

Ponderosa pines, junipers and firs are the main trees. Most of the mountains are forested with openings created by fires and logging. Large expanses are covered with bunchgrass, fescue and sagebrush. Bitterbrush, aspens, willows and lodgepole pines also are common. Marshy land has bulrushes, cattails and other water-loving plants.

Many roads serve private, BLM and Forest Service lands, making it difficult for hunters to get more than a mile from a road. Some roads are subject to closure or vehicle restrictions. Forest Service vehicle use maps can be found online here and here. One roadless area is the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness in the north-central part of the unit. Others are south of Paisley. ATVs are seldom necessary but can make travel on primitive roads easier. A lot of private land is scattered throughout the unit, so carry a GPS unit with land ownership data. Some private land is open to the public, such as the 608,000-acre Green Diamond Resource Company Travel Management Area, part of which is in this unit.

Camping is allowed on almost all public land along dirt and gravel roads. Fremont-Winema National Forest maintains several campgrounds. Lakeview on the eastern border has lodging. Examples include Hunters Hot Springs Resort and Skyline Motor Lodge. Another place to stay is Summer Lake Hot Springs retreat near Paisley.
