At a Glance
Some of America’s most stunning landscapes are home to a healthy herd of mule deer that occasionally reach trophy class. Due west of Monticello, the Abajo Mountains tower over foothills, bean fields and desert lowlands that are 4,000 to more than 6,500 feet below.
This unit is one of Utah's general deer units. Some desert terrain hardly gets hunted. Few hunters leave roads.
