This mainly private unit is on the north side of Interstate 40 in an 80-mile stretch from Santa Rosa east to San Jon. Hunters pursue antelope and mule deer along with a few elk and whitetail deer. Public land can be found near the eastern boundary, as well as in the center of the unit along the Canadian River and Canon Largo, and then heading south toward the southern border.
Some decent mule deer and whitetail bucks can be found in this unit but locating them on public lands can be tough. Elk are found in limited numbers, primarily on private pieces.
Quick Tips
- Most deer and antelope are within one mile of water
- Hunt in the Sabinoso Wilderness to find solitude
- Carry plenty of fuel and water if hunting Canon Largo
- Deer are more likely to be found in rougher terrain in later seasons
