The 2,400-ft Doty Hills represent the high ground in this small GMU consisting mostly of rolling, timbered hills with lots of logging activity over the decades. Weyerhaeuser and other timber companies and tree farms own the majority of the private land, with small farms and residential properties along the north, east and southern borders, more or less following the winding Chehalis River. There is some urban sprawl from the small towns of Rochester, Grand Mound, Centralia and Chehalis which sit on the actual border, a combination of I-5, Hwy 12, Rd 6, Elk Creek Rd and Garrard Creek Rd. The northern tip, south of Oakville, is mostly Chehalis Reservation. Public land largely consists of three blocks of state land managed by DNR and Forest Board Resource Planning. There are lots of clear cuts in the unit with a bit of farming mixed throughout, however, the largest growing land use is single-family properties on small acreages which can be problematic to hunting opportunities. There are significant numbers of deer throughout the unit, but it is heavily hunted so it is best to find areas that are not traveled often.

Pay for limited access to timber company land.
