This oddly shaped unit is primarily private, with the Asotin Creek Wildlife Area in the northern region. The Snake River forms this unit’s east boundary, and Road 129, Cloverland Road, and a variety of other roads form the west boundary. The Blue Ridge Mountains and foothills sculpt the southern edge; landscaping will become much flatter and more arid the further north you travel, towards to the of Asotin. The winding Grande Ronde River, a piece of Chief Joseph Wildlife Area, runs along the southern edge. As usual, with GMUs that are dominantly private, elk numbers are managed to minimize elk and conflict with agriculture activities, along with challenging access, resident elk are pretty scattered; however, they do use part of the unit for winter range and calving. Both mule deer and whitetail deer hunting are good given the land access opportunities and offer great hunting success for those willing to do a bit of pre-season work. DIY hunters should focus on the Feel Free to Hunt, Hunt by Written Permission, BLM, Register to Hunt, and state land.

Elk numbers are typically very low here and private land access can be very tough to get.
