Lava Hot Springs is in the southeast corner of this area, which consists of valleys that are mostly private and mountains that are mostly public. It produces some big elk to hunters who draw rifle tags. Elk and mule deer bowhunters may buy tags over the counter.

This area, like many in southeastern Idaho, occasionally produces a once-in-a-lifetime mule deer that is large enough to qualify for listing in Boone and Crockett Club records, but hunting pressure is heavy enough that most bucks are shot during their first two seasons of carrying antlers. A limit on bull elk tags can let some animals grow to trophy size. Bowhunters may buy elk tags over-the-counter, but rifle bull hunters must draw tags.
