Bordering Utah and south of the Colorado River, this unit is managed to produce trophy-class elk and also provides great deer hunting opportunities. Tag numbers are limited throughout here and any hunting holding a tag for any season will be in for a good hunt. Hunters will find a good percentage of public lands here but much of the late season habitat is found on private lands.

Most mature elk and bucks are taken on private property or on public land that is difficult to reach without access to deeded ground. Hunters crowd onto a virtual island of Mesa National Forest that occupies about 12 square miles and is almost totally surrounded by private land. There are few antelope found on this unit.
