This large unit runs from the rugged Cascade Range in the east to the I-5 valley in the west, with a bit of everything in between. There are tracts of roadless, large continuous state and forest lands, and major roads right through the middle of the unit along the Skagit River drainage, and privately held lands in all sizes and shapes. If you have a preferred style of hunting, chances are you will find it within these boundaries.
Spend a lot of time scouting this unit, elk can move a long ways overnight.
