This very small private land unit is located on the north bank of the Columbia River at Longview. Weyerhaeuser owns the largest continuous block of land, and their public access programs are a must unless you know small private landowners in this GMU. The largest growing land use is single-family properties on small acreages which can be problematic to hunting opportunities. For a unit this small and a number of humans sharing this unit, there are fair numbers of deer here.
Many elk have foot rot in this area.
Much of this unit has been heavily timbered in the north and is a maze of steep cuts winding their way down to urban sprawl and the Columbia River. There are lots of clear cuts and timber activity at various stages of regrowth, along with rural single-family residencies taking a substantial portion of total acres.
There is basically no public land here so do yourself a favor by securing private land and/or timber company access early.
This area is heavily forested with clear cuts in various stages of regrowth, along with lush meadows and brush choked draws along the multiple seasonal creeks. Single family residential properties have introduced a wide variety of non-native trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses.
This unit is all private with basically no camping options. Longview will provide the best lodging and accommodation options.
Roughly 102 square miles
