Mostly public with good access for elk and mule deer hunting. This unit is south of Prescott in central Arizona. The Bradshaw Mountains include most of the high country, which is mainly forested with ponderosa pine trees.

This unit is best known for average mule deer hunting. Hunters have a chance of killing quality bucks. Elk hunting is limited and population numbers are low; the state manages this unit to have elk populations well below the carry capacity to avoid conflict with landowners. This unit is a multi-unit opportunity for elk; tag holders should consider hunting other units where their tags are valid.

Several drainages and draws hold game in mid-range and high country areas. Some of the terrain is physically difficult to hunt and the terrain is rocky. Low ground in the west is easier to hike.

Prescott National Forest has good public access on dirt roads. Some private ranches restrict access, but permission might be obtained.

Ponderosa pine and spruce forests in high country, pinyon pines, juniper and scrub oak in middle elevations, and high Sonoran desert with cactus and grass in low terrain.

Hunters camp along public roads, but some stay in motels in Prescott, Mayer, Skull Valley and Cordes Junction. Lynx Lake campground is developed, but closes in the winter.
