This is a medium sized unit with approximately a 50/50 mix of private and public land. Fish Lake is located on the northern border, and Okanogan River runs along most of the eastern border, down past the town of Omak and Okanogan, before heading north along Road 20 and South Fork Salmon Creek. Public land consists largely of Loup Loup State Forest, Okanogan National Forest, Scotch Creek Wildlife Area, Sinlahekin Wildlife Area and scattered BLM and state ground. Large tracts of the public and private are highly broken, so a quality GPS is vitally important when hunting and retrieving game. This GMU has experienced multiple significant burns over the years. Since 2008, roughly 90% of the GMU has experienced wildfires to some degree, and now many spots offer some excellent forage for deer. This unit is predominantly mule deer country, with few scattered whitetails in the lower, thicker riparian cover adjoining private farming ground. Hunting tends to improve later in the season after snows push migrating mule deer into lower elevations. Later hunt dates also come with more hunters and some pressure; with the rut coming on, patience is the key to success. There are no resident herds of elk, and finding them can be extremely difficult. This unit is on the extreme edge of the grizzly recovery zone and Loup Loup wolf pack territory.

This unit tends to get a little more crowded than others.
