This large unit is a mix of public and private land, with hunting opportunities available on both types of land. Griffin Peak and Chase Mountain, both in the National Forest, top out at over 5,600-ft. The unit drops to around 1,600-ft on the north side along Hwy 12 and the city of Dayton. In 2005 and 2006 large fires consumed much of this unit. This GMU has the highest density of general season hunters with good access throughout.

Elk can be difficult to find in this unit. There are reports of black bears in the foothills and forested areas of this unit.
