Featuring the Weaver Mountains and the smaller Date Creek Mountains about 25 miles southwest of Prescott, this unit is largely state and federal public land, with good public access. Hunters enjoy good mule deer hunting with some mature bucks. Elk are scarce.

Mule deer hunting is good, especially in low desert terrain, but elk are few in number, which makes for difficult elk hunting. Hunter success is low. Elk tags are valid in several units that are better than Unit 20C.

Some terrain in the north and east is rocky and steep, mostly in the Weaver Mountains. A smaller range, the Date Creek Mountains, are in the southwest. Gentle, rolling grasslands and deserts are in the west. Hassayampa River Canyon Wilderness straddles the border of Units 20C and 20B.

Most land is BLM or state property, open to hunting. Some private ranches restrict access, including much of the land near the Hassayampa River and Kirkland, but some landowners give hunting permission to polite hunters who present themselves well.

Pinyon pines, junipers and scrub oak grow at high elevations, along with a mixture of grasslands and chaparral. Lower elevations are Sonoran desert with various species of cactus, yuccas, forbs and grass.

Most hunters camp on public land along roads. Motels are in Wickenburg, Yarnell and Congress. No public campgrounds exist.
