Both the eastern and western subunits of Unit 44A offer trophy-size desert bighorn sheep and a few mule deer. Mountains rise steeply to elevations that are thousands of feet higher than the flat desert.

Subunits 44A East and 44A West provide excellent desert bighorn sheep hunting and fair mule deer hunting. It is also possible to find elk in this unit, which can be taken via the state's over-the-counter elk hunt.
