The most eastern subunit in the 07 unit group. Unit 079 is located between Wells and Wendover and offers mule deer, elk, and limited antelope hunting. The Toano Range is the only major landmark within this unit. Primarily public ground managed by the BLM.

Unit 079 is known to hold a fair population of elk and mule deer, with an opportunity to harvest a mature buck or bull. Deer numbers typically increase with fall migration. The late rifle and late archery seasons are best for locating trophy mule deer bucks.
