This small, very rough and physical public land unit is surrounded by Olympic National Park and the Quinault Reservation. There are two main drainages here, Matheny Creek and Sams River along the north, with 2,200-ft elevation changes in well under a mile. The forest has very thick, old growth and is best hunted by slowly tracking the elk -the unit is simply not glassable. The eastern point consists of state land and is much more mellow, plus, there are some clear cuts that can be helpful when hunting. If you give this unit a try, focus on state land with clear-cuts in the 3 to 9 year age class of regrowth.

This extremely steep unit will become even harder to traverse when it gets moisture.
