Elk, mule deer, oryx, Barbary sheep and antelope can be hunted in this unit. This unit is entirely in the Fort Bliss Military Reservation McGregor Range. Managed jointly by the BLM and the U.S. Army, the range is closed to the public during military training exercises, but is open to hunters who draw tags.

Oryx hunting is the biggest draw, but the range also holds some trophy class desert mule deer and some trophy size Barbary sheep. Bull elk and antelope can also be found in this area. Scouting opportunities are based on Army permission.

The southern end of the rugged Sacramento Mountains are in the northern part of this unit. The southern edge of the Sacramentos is steep. Below are vast desert plains that stretch for miles. The western edge of Otero Mesa, in the center of the unit, is also steep and rugged. The rough, broken Hueco Mountains are in the southeastern corner and extend into Texas.

Hunters must draw tags and then get an access permit from the U.S. Army at Fort Bliss. Each vehicle must display an access pass. Hunters also must call officials on the range to receive daily permission to enter the range.

Most of the land is covered by grasses that grow short in dry years and long in wet years, along with low brush such as creosote and greasewood, mesquite, yucca and cholla cactus. Sparse junipers and pinyon pines grow in places.

Most hunters stay in motels in Alamogordo, which is about 20 miles northwest. Some hunters camp along dirt roads in bordering units.
