Quick Tips
- Conditions during the elk hunting season can be quite warm, even with mild temperatures an improperly handled carcass can lead to spoilage




This small unit is located in southeastern California and lies just south of the town of Big Pine. Most of the area is fairly open and flat with the exception of the Crater Mountain Wilderness Study Area and a mountainous region in the south west. Most of the elk will typically be found in the lower lying river bottom areas.
Lots of public access here along with great glassing opportunities.
