With two-thirds of the unit in Willamette National Forest and lots of private timber land open to public hunting, this unit offers many opportunities to hunt elk and blacktail deer.
Blacktail deer and Roosevelt elk are increasing in this unit due to mild winters and the opening of timber by logging and forest fires. Hunters who hunt hard have a good chance of taking mature bucks and bulls. This unit also offers one of the few chances to hunt Columbian Whitetail deer.
