A heavily forested and roaded unit with lots of steep land and brushy, dense cover, this unit gets a lot of hunting pressure from nearby Corvallis on its eastern border as well as from the Portland-Salem metropolitan area. It has good numbers of elk and blacktail deer.
This is a difficult unit to hunt because of steep terrain, heavy cover, lots of roads and many other hunters who can buy over-the-counter general tags to hunt bucks and bulls.
Quick Tips
- Much of the land all looks the same, carry a GPS to stay oriented
- Get in roadless canyons to find bigger bucks and bulls
- Stand hunting about 50 yards from roads can be productive
- Get permission to hunt private land in the eastern part of the unit
