This large unit is located just to the west of Yakima and related urban sprawl, including significant agricultural land. The majority of public land consists of the Ahtanum State Forest in the western third of the GMU. There is a bit of public/private checkerboarded in the middle, south of the Oak Creek Wildlife Area, and a touch of BLM closer to urban sprawl. Yakama Nation Reservation runs along the entire southern border with Devil’s Ridge, Tieton, and Naches Rivers along the other borders. There are small populations of resident big game, however, with ever increasing developments access is getting more limited every season. Within Ahtanum State Forest there is a vast network of trails making it difficult to get away from hunting pressure.

There is one elk winter feeding site with zero access.
