This unit is located in the northeast portion of the state, with a western border that follows Hwy 395 South from Colville to Deer Park, east to Hwy 2, north to Newport, and then follows the Pend Oreille River to Hwy 20 where it cuts back west to Colville. The major terrain feature of this unit is the Little Pend Oreille Wildlife Refuge that sits just south of Hwy 20 in the more northern region of the unit. This nearly 40,000-acre refuge is perfect moose habitat; with some of the most dense moose populations in the state, it doesn’t take long to see why this ideal habitat is home to some of the best bulls Washington has to offer. When you draw a moose tag in Washington, you should be focusing your efforts on drawing one of the bull seasons this unit has to offer.

Expect mild conditions across much of the unit, with sparse pines in the lower elevations making it much easier to glass effectively. The higher elevations tend to get progressively denser, and outside of the many clear cuts, locating game in these areas is more difficult.
