Most of this unit is mountainous terrain in the Nez Perce National Forest around Elk City and has a lot of elk and whitetail deer along with a few mule deer.
Some bigger whitetails have been taken here in the past, but mature mule deer are not seen as often. Bowhunters can buy elk tags over-the-counter. There is a December archery season for elk and whitetail deer. Whitetail rifle tags are valid until late November.
