At a Glance

687Square Miles

28%Public Land

4,000 - 6,000Elevation Range

A largely private unit north of Redmond and Prineville, this unit holds elk, mule deer and antelope. The largest piece of public land is in the Ochoco Mountains and is part of the Ochoco National Forest, which includes the Mill Creek Wilderness.

Private land produces better elk, antelope and mule deer hunting than public land because the habitat is more diverse with less dense cover and more browse plants, forbs and grass, and hunting pressure is lower.

Quick Tips

Smallmouth bass fishing on the John Day River
Deschutes River provides good trout fishing
Carry a GPS to avoid trespassing on bordering tribal land
