This large GMU is located on the north bank of the Columbia River and rises from a modest 200-ft to a tad over 2,600-ft in the north before dropping back down to 400-ft along Road 6 which serves as the northern boundary. The eastern boundary is a combination of Chehalis and Elochoman River, and the western border is a straight line down the middle of a wide draw to Salmon Creek and on to Deep River. Public land largely consists of two blocks of state land, which are also the most densely forested. The largest share of land is owned by timber companies and has been heavily logged creating a patchwork of vegetation. The closer you get to the Columbia River, Skamokawa, and the two southern corners, the more you will see rural properties, small acre summer homes and farms. Whether you choose to hunt public state land, large timber company ground, or gain access to smaller private land, there are hunting opportunities for those willing to do a bit of homework. There are significant numbers of deer throughout this unit, however, it is also heavily hunted so it is best to find areas that are not traveled as often which can be challenging.

Pay for limited access to timber company land.
