The Wenatchee, Columbia and Entiat Rivers form three of the four sides of this diamond-shaped GMU, with the northwestern border twisting along Van Creek and Mosquito Ridge. Although the unit has over 90,000-acres of public land, it is heavily broken up, checkerboarded and divided into small private land holdings, especially along the rivers. The majority of public land is Wenatchee National Forest, with pieces of Chelan Wildlife Areas, BLM, and state ground as well. Many large fires have burned significant pieces of land, mainly in the southern half. Since the 2004 burn, significant portions along Derby Canyon Rd and Blag Mountain have had timber thinned. There are a handful of major drainages in the unit, including Eagle Creek, Mills Canyon, and the Roaring Creek. With its rolling country, this unit makes for good spot and stalk hunting for mule deer, especially on the south side in the think buckbrush. Aside from few resident deer, this is a late season migratory mule deer hunt needing heavy snows in bordering units to push the deer in. Deer here cause some human wildlife conflicts in the apple orchards and keying in on public land along the orchard where the deer go to bed can pay dividends, however, you will need to know your boundaries, not only for hunting but game retrieval. Upland game birds are common and include chukar, ruffed grouse, partridge, California quail, and blue grouse.

This unit has a great November mule deer hunt, if you can get a permit.
