Bordering Texas, this unit is south of Interstate 40 from Santa Rosa to the state line and has mule deer, antelope, and occasionally a whitetail deer. Most of the land is private, but some large tracts of state BLM land can be reached on public roads. Accessing public land can be difficult at times, however, since passing through private land is often required to reach state lands.
Hunters with access to private land and water sources often do well, especially during the January archery season when bucks are rutting and active. Mule deer numbers are low with very few mature bucks available. Antelope are more abundant in this unit than deer.
