Though mostly private, this unit also has a great deal of public land, mostly in the Umatilla National Forest. Hunters take a good number of elk and mule deer every year with a handful of antelope. California bighorn sheep live in rough terrain in the Potamus Canyon area.
This unit is known for producing mature mule deer, mostly on private land and in rougher, isolated sectors of public property.
