This unit falls within District 1 in the northeastern corner of the state, with the Columbia River, Hwy 700 and South Fork Deep Creek serving as the western boundaries. Most private land is located along the Columbia River and the highways with a few small private parcels within the substantial tract of public. Some of the mountain ranges in this unit include Abercrombie Mountain at just over 7,200-ft and Linton Mountain topping out at just over 6,000-ft. About 5 miles from Linton Mountain, elevations drops off quickly as you approach the town of Metaline at 2,000-ft in elevation. A bit further south is Thomas Mountain, at just over 4,600-ft, dropping off to Lake Heritage on the Pend Oreille River to the east. This tall, but not very wide unit, has lots of options for hunters. Numerous creeks and meadows are scattered throughout conifer forests.
There is great access to public land here, and a good system of roads for the most part as well. There are a few road closures, so do your homework and come into the unit prepared.
