About 90% of this unit is north of the Tohono O'odham (Papago) Indian Reservation just west of Tucson. A smaller section is south of tribal land. Bighorn sheep and a small herd of desert mule deer live here.
Desert mule deer are scarce in this mostly flat desert just outside Tucson, but some bucks get old enough to grow nice racks. Physically easy hunt that offers a chance at a quality desert bighorn sheep. Expect good late season bowhunting during the rut.
