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

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.

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.

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.
