On The Ground

Mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and whitetail deer are hunted in this eastern unit, which has a lot of private land along with BLM and state land as well as National Forest in the Blue Mountains.

Private land harbors many elk, mule deer, antelope and whitetails in this unit, but hunters do take some mature animals of each species.

Terrain

Stretching from the Snake River near Weiser, Idaho, to Prairie City, this unit varies from flat valleys and river bottoms to foothills, ridges, steep canyons and mountains. The highest and roughest terrain is in the Blue Mountains in the west. The northwestern corner is mostly mountainous land in the Malheur and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests. The rest of the unit is mostly moderate to steep BLM ground with farmland and private range land in valleys along creeks and the Snake and Malheur rivers.

  • Roughly 2,744 square miles

  • 57% public land

  • Elevations from 2,300-7,800 feet

Most land is arid terrain covered by grasses and sagebrush with scattered patches of bitterbrush, wild roses, junipers and mahoganies. Aspens, Douglas firs, ponderosa pines and junipers grow on high slopes. Farmland is planted in alfalfa, grains, onions and other crops.

Most public land is in large parcels that can be reached on public roads. No rifle hunting is allowed on islands in the Snake River. National Forest property is well-roaded. Hunters can drive full-size vehicles or ATVs within a mile of almost every spot. The small Monument Rock Wilderness is roadless and occupies an area of the Blue Mountains about seven miles long and two to five miles wide. Archery mule deer hunting is allowed on the 800-acre Ontario City Access Area.

Lodging is available in several towns. Options include the Historic Hotel Prairie in Prairie City, the Burnt River Market & Motel in Unity, and Ontario Inn in Ontario. Blue Bucket Inn is near Drewsey about 50 miles northeast of Burns. Many campgrounds are in the Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur national forests. Wayne & Dottie’s Cabins can be rented in Huntington.
