  • 73.1% public land

  • Elevations from 6,108-7,857 feet

Vegetation in this area consists of sagebrush and some juniper patches on hills where some deer can be found. Most mule deer will go up into higher elevations, and also can be found in draws with good cover and close to water.

  • Spot and stalk is the best method here
