Almost entirely public land, this unit includes two steep rocky mountain ranges — the Excelsior Mountains and Garfield Hills — which hold a healthy sheep herd and some mule deer. Antelope are scattered throughout the unit. Game animals have many sources of water, natural and artificial.

The sheep herd is healthy, and improving. Nevada Department of Wildlife and Nevada Bighorns Unlimited have been transplanting sheep into the unit for the past few years. There are very few mule deer. Antelope are spread out in this unit.
