Both mule deer and whitetail are found in this unit. This unit is known for its decent harvest rates and seeing quite a few deer, but the terrain makes it a challenging hunt. Mule deer numbers have been lower the last couple of years, but there’s still potential to find a trophy. Archery season is a good option for finding bucks in bachelor groups; finding small watering holes and game trails can be effective during the archery season.
