The majority of this unit is private land, with the largest tracts of BLM and state ground running through the center of the unit along the Moses Coulee, Jameson and Grimes Lakes. Along with other scattered chunks of public, the WDFW has enrolled 56,423-acres of land for additional access for hunters through the Private Lands Hunting Access program. Unit boundaries basically follow major roads: Hwy 2 along the southern boundary, up Rd 172 on the east, and along the top to Rd 17 about one-third of the way down before following the Upper Grand Coulee just outside of Coulee City. Columbia sharp-tailed grouse, mule deer and upland game birds favor this ecosystem. Mule deer densities are low, however, this unit offers an excellent age class of bucks and is worth spending a bit of time to scouting and gaining access to less pressured private lands. Your time will be well invested for a hunting opportunity and fun hunting experience. Elk are basically nonexistent in this GMU. Whitetail numbers are low, but they do show up in the wetter portions of this arid unit.
There are lots of road hunters in this unit, stay in one spot and they will pressure deer to you.
