This is a large unit with lots of public ground, although there are some areas checker boarded with private land. The Pend Oreille forms the western boundary, and the Kalispel Reservation is found along the unit’s southwestern border. Salmo-Priest Wilderness, Colville and Kaniksu National Forests make up the bulk of public land which covers the majority of the unit. Gypsy Peak is the highest peak in the unit at 7,309-ft in northeast Washington and located in the northern portion of the Selkirk range. Whitetail deer will be found at lower elevations, below 4,000-ft. Mule deer, however, tend to favor the higher, more secluded elevations, specifically in the northern range. The very northeast corner is part of the Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone and is rugged, steep backcountry with long, heavily forested valleys. Selwick may be worth checking out for the physical, backcountry experienced hunters, as it can provide the elbow room getting away from other hunters.

There have been many reports of grizzlies, wolves and mountain lions in this unit. There have also been reports of multiple road closures around the Grizzly recovery zone.
