Famous for producing giant mule deer and free-roaming bison, this unit occasionally is visited by elk that wander here from bordering units. Game officials do not want elk to establish a permanent population, so they allow hunters to buy tags over the counter.

So few elk live in this unit that hunters rarely see one. It's not uncommon to spend many days without seeing an elk or any sign. Bulls are rarely found, and are usually small branch-antlered bulls.
