At a Glance
The vast majority of this unit is in the Apache National Forest, on the eastern edge of the San Carlos Indian Reservation. It is home to Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, elk, mule deer and Coues deer. The largest forest fire in Arizona history, the Wallow Fire, burned about 30% of the unit in 2011.
Much of this unit is remote backcountry and is one of the best places in Arizona to find big game trophies including: big bulls, Coues bucks, and Rocky Mountain bighorn rams.
