This hunting district has limited road access and provides some very remote hunting opportunities. Elk numbers have declined but there are still some good bulls harvested in this district every season. The mule deer population on the west side of the district is better than the east side, but numbers are still well below their historic rates. The whitetail hunting is mostly on private land on the west side of the district; small isolated portions of public land can provide some hunting opportunity.
