This is a big unit and can be found in lower elevations with rolling sagebrush and grassland habitat. There are not a lot of elk here, and the majority are close to private land agriculture fields. That being said, good bulls are taken from this unit every year. This unit is primarily BLM land with all sorts of access.
Privately owned agriculture fields hold a lot of the elk here. There is a lot of public BLM land, but not a lot of resident elk. Hunters should try the land bordering fields near Burlington since it can be one of the best places to find elk.
