Located in the central part of the state, this unit has good genetics and deer numbers. With moderate terrain and good public access, this is a unit that can be good for hunters wanting to pursue mature mule deer bucks.

A general deer unit managed for hunter opportunity, this unit still holds good bucks. and offers good public access. The new limited entry muzzleloader hunt puts hunters closer to the rut and increases the chances of locating mature bucks.

One of the larger units in the state, it has a huge variation in terrain and habitat. The Wasatch Plateau runs north and south down through the entire west side of this unit. On top of the mountain range there are large meadows and flats. Off of the mountain, there are steep creek drainages leading down to the valley floor. Just up from the valley floor are rolling foot hills. With all of the ridges, foothills and drainages there are a lot of areas for game to hide where they may not get pressured. Much of the eastern part of the unit is desert and canyon country.

Much of the unit is part of the Manti-La Sal National Forest or desert land managed by the BLM, giving great public access. There are some sections of private cabins and properties located around some of the lakes in the unit that hunters need to be aware of. There is road access on all sides of the unit with well-maintained dirt roads leading to less-maintained 4-wheel-drive roads or ATV trails.

The low elevations on this unit are dry, desert rolling hills, flats, and canyon country. Some grass, prickly-pear cactus and sagebrush with scattered pinyon pines and juniper trees. Middle elevations are covered in ponderosa pines, oak brush and the sagebrush. The higher elevations have scattered aspen groves with the steep slopes covered in conifer forests. The mountain tops have large grassy meadows with scattered ponds, thick aspen and conifer forest.

Most hunters camp along roads, there are several locations that have good flat camping locations for travel trailers or tents. There are a couple of designated campgrounds open to the public. There are several small towns along US 89 and Highway 6 offering lodging and services.
