At a Glance
This unit is made up of high plains desert and the Sierra Madre Range in the south-central part of the state. A good distribution of public lands is found here and elk populations are stable. The southwest corner of the unit is heavily timbered and mountainous while the remainder of the unit is open and broken. Optics and physical preparation will be important for this hunt.
Hunters can expect moderate to rugged terrain with elk usually found in the National Forest. This is a big area with a lot of country to hunt and hunters will need to be prepared to cover some country in search of elk.
