This small unit has roughly 22,000-acres of public land, mainly south of the town of Bridgeport in the Sagebrush Flats Wildlife Area. Along the southeast border, there are 8,302 additional acres of Hunt by Written Permission land, which is great to help spread deer hunters out across a larger section. The Columbia River is the border for approximately 40-miles, along the west and the north, with sections of these riverbanks representing the only steep portions of this rolling, flat country. Foster Creek, flowing into the Columbia River at Bridgeport, runs along The Sagebrush Flats Wildlife Area. Mule deer hunting can be quite good with access to private land or a bit of luck in the public hunting lands. Pressured deer tend to disappear onto private land or into smaller, thicker cover out of the way. Stand hunt escape routes and be patient. There are several species of upland birds including blue grouse and quail, however, the sharp-tail and sage grouse are both protected species. This unit is not managed for either whitetail deer or elk, populations are low to nonexistent.

This can be a great hunt with good private land access.

This unit has the most diverse habitat found in the region, and includes a 6,400-acre-plus wildlife unit located just south of the town of Bridgeport where Foster Creek meets the Columbia River. There are native grasslands and rolling hills with sharp basalt cliffs along the Columbia River on the northern edge, downstream from Bridgeport, guarded by isolated stands of pine forests.

Agriculture dominates this unit and represents the largest acres by percentage. This ag land is irrigated for a wide variety of vegetables and fruits along the low flat river banks with large sections of dryland crops, mainly wheat, grain and barley, throughout the bulk of the unit. WDFW reports around 37,000-acres of shrubs, meadows and grasslands forming the rest of the unit with many small ponds and creeks taking less than 6,000-acres.

The Sagebrush Flats Wildlife Area, Bridgeport Unit, and one large chunk of private land, enrolled in the Hunt by Written Permission program, are the main public land hunting opportunities available in this unit. There are several small pieces of public land, however, some may be landlocked by private, so carry a GPS while you hunt. The largest contiguous piece of ground inside the boundaries is privately held land.

There are very few public campgrounds in this unit. If you are more interested in a bed and a shower, and being closer to gas stations, restaurants, and a grocery store, your best option will be in the small town of Bridgeport located in the central portion of the unit.
