A patchwork of state, national forest, BLM and private land about 35-60 miles west of Colorado Springs, this unit has access issues because of private land. Mule deer are increasing in number and quality. Elk herds build in November as animals migrate here to escape hunters in surrounding units.

This unit produces some good mule deer, but hunting is difficult due to heavy timber in many areas, especially on public land. Antelope also get big, particularly on private land. Hunters take a good number of bigger bull elk with most big bulls taken on private ranches. Private land impedes access to some public tracts.
