This unit features both general hunts and limited entry hunts. The area consists of the Tushar Mountains and parts of valleys on the eastern and western sides. The town of Beaver is on the west, with Interstate 15 as the boundary and U.S. Highway 80 as the eastern boundary of the unit.

This is one of the few Utah units where deer numbers have reached state goals.The Twitchell fire of 2010 has opened up and improved much of the north part of the unit. There are several remote areas to hunt. Much of the unit is covered with dense timber.

Much of the Beaver unit is steep and rugged. Several deep canyons with jagged cliffs on the sides and with creeks in the bottoms run east and west. A number of trailheads start at high elevations, reducing the elevation a hunter must climb to reach prime hunting areas. Several hunters find glassing spots half a mile from roads, allowing them to view parts of roadless areas. Private property lies along the bases of some mountains, and a ski resort, as well as cabin developments, that limit access to some of the high country. The Twitchell fire of 2010 burned 45,000 acres on the north end, opening areas that had been hard to glass and improving them with new browse and grass.

Dense Engelmann spruce mingled with pines and firs dominate high elevations. Some alpine tundra is on the highest peaks. Middle elevations have Douglas fir, aspens, manzanita, grass meadows and sagebrush, and low elevations have pinyon/juniper woodlands, sagebrush, oak brush, grasses and other browse. There are a lot of water sources because of springs, small lakes and perennial streams.

Well-maintained roads access some high mountains. Other access roads are maintained to campsites and are not maintained at higher elevations. State Road 153, Fremont Canyon Road, and Forest Service Road 113 give hunters access to different parts of this unit. A lot of roads are maintained through summer and fall. Snow or heavy rainfall can make some of the small dirt roads difficult to navigate. A good trail system is available for hikers and horseback riders. ATV trails access much of the unit but are limited to 50 inches in width on some trails.

Beaver and Marysville have lodging, gas, groceries, and other supplies. Camping is permitted on most public land. There are several designated campgrounds found throughout the unit that are close to hunting grounds.
