This is a large unit with diverse ecosystems. Irrigated fields in the river basin slowly rise to the east and into the arid Palouse grasslands. Although the bulk of the unit is private, there is a large chunk of BLM in the southern tip and checkerboarded state land out east allowing public access. Combine this with the Feel Free to Hunt, Hunt by Reservation and Hunt by Written Permission land and there are some decent access options for hunters. Elk are very scattered in small pockets and present a challenge. This is excellent mule deer country and gets better for the late season hunts as deer migrate in typically in October, however, this is weather related migrations.
Ezquatel and Bailie can hold big trophy class deer.
