At a Glance
Mule deer are the main draw in this desert unit that borders Texas and includes 7,280-foot-high Wind Mountain. Barbary sheep, a few oryx, and pronghorns also roam this desert.
Exceptional mule deer are rare, but hunters can still harvest a bigger deer. This is a good place for groups of hunters who like deer drives, which are effective in the many long, brushy draws here. Drought has reduced antelope horn size. A few oryx live here and off-range tags are valid here. Barbary sheep are scattered throughout this area.
Quick Tips
