Holding a part of the Eldorado Mountains, Unit 265 is primarily public land. Half of it is in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area with good access and classic desert terrain.

Hunters with desert bighorn sheep tags report looking over a few different rams, making for enjoyable hunting. Most rams live in the areas of Ireteba Peaks, Keyhole Canyon and White Rock Wash. Spot-and-stalk hunting is physically demanding. Sheep population is very healthy. Good numbers of artificial and natural water sources. Resident deer numbers are low.
