On The Ground

One of the few places where hunters can travel by boat to scout or hunt for mule deer and desert bighorn sheep, this unit includes much the Black Mountains next to Lake Mead and runs north through Mormon Mesa.

Hunters often see several rams. Most sheep live on or near Cathedral Peaks, Pinto Ridge and Razorback Ridge. Physically demanding spot-and-stalk hunting

Terrain

Mostly rugged, steep mountain ranges and softly rolling desert hills at their bases. Sheer cliff faces are on Cathedral Peaks. Hikers should expect unstable footing on broken granite.

  • Roughly 378 square miles

  • 80.3% public land

  • Elevations from 1,150 feet at Lake Mead to about 3,400 feet

Cactus and creosote brush and white bursage grow at lower elevations. Mahogany woodlands take over as elevation increases.

Hunter access is fair. No roads lead into some hunting grounds. Boating is sometimes a good option to reach hunting sites.

  • Some areas have motor vehicle restrictions

  • Use maps to see which roads are affected

  • Few well-groomed county and powerline roads

Las Vegas and Henderson along with Lake Las Vegas Resort are close to hunting grounds. Commutes to and from hunting units can get long and drain energy.

  • Most hunters prefer camping

  • Camping is allowed on almost all public grounds

  • Motorized equipment (even a chainsaw) is restricted in much of the unit
