This unit is widely recognized for high-quality elk hunting. Most of the land in this unit is public, the border is shared with the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, which is known for producing world-class bulls. Hunters may find both large mule deer and large antelope. Archery deer hunters must draw tags. Road access is good.

This unit is considered one of the best for hunting elk and shares a border with an Indian reservation. The gigantic Rodeo-Chediski fire burned through the middle section in 2002, opening up overgrown timber and allowing fresh browse plants and grass to regenerate. Improved management has led to better mule deer quality with abundant feed for elk, too. Antelope numbers have been declining.
