This unit, which borders the Rogue River and is north of Grants Pass and northwest of Medford, has scattered herds of Roosevelt elk as well as pure Columbia blacktail deer on Umpqua National Forest, BLM, corporate timber land and private farm land.

This is one of the better places in Oregon for hunting mature blacktail bucks without having to draw a tag, but the challenge is finding a good place to hunt because most deer hang around private farm land. Roosevelt elk also mainly inhabit private lands, some of which are open to the public.
