The high, steep Chiricahua Mountains, which have produced several trophy-class Coues deer, are the dominant feature of this unit, which borders New Mexico and is close to Mexico. Desert mule deer, black bear and javelina also live here. This unit has diverse terrain features that allow hunters to use multiple hunting styles to tag a quality buck.

This is an excellent place to hunt Coues deer with most Coues deer located 4,000 feet above sea level. Mule deer numbers are down because of many years of drought, but those that are located in this unit can be found no higher than 5,400 feet. Much of the mule deer habitat in this unit is on private land.

Desert flats and pivot-irrigated alfalfa fields give way to rolling desert ridges and washes, which drain rocky canyons that start high in the Chiricahua Mountains. Several of the high mountains are steep.

Ponderosa pine, fir and spruce forests grow at high elevations above mountains and foothills covered by pinyon pines, junipers and oaks along with brush and grass. Lowlands are Chihuahuan desert with cactus, desert scrub and grass.

Coronado National Forest, BLM and state trust lands comprise most of the unit. Almost all of the Chiricahua Mountains are inside National Forest Service boundaries. Private property restricts access in some low places.

Hunters camp on public lands along dirt roads. Lodging is in Portal, Willcox and Rodeo and also in Road Forks, New Mexico.
