Bordering Arizona, this unit is known for the Blue Range Wilderness and the Burro Mountain hunting area, which the state has long labeled and managed as a quality deer hunting site. Coues deer, desert mule deer, pronghorn antelope, javelina and elk are hunted in Unit 23.
Deer tags in the Burro Mountain hunting area are hard to draw because hunters take many big Coues deer. Some bigger elk have come from the Blue Range area. Heavy hunting pressure on public land.
