Extending south from Kingman for 70 miles, this unit includes the Hualapai Mountains and other isolated mountains that hold a scattered desert bighorn sheep herd, a declining mule deer herd and, according to state estimates, fewer than 100 elk.

Hunting can be excellent for desert bighorns once they are located, but this unit has not been known for producing exceptionally large sheep. Deer numbers and tag quotas have declined and biologists estimate that fewer than 100 elk live within the entire unit. Sheep are found in several isolated areas. When elk are not bugling, hunters have a hard time finding them. Scouting is especially important here for all species.
