UNIT 15A/15B/18A
This hunt can be very tough. There are some huge bulls here and every year a few bruisers get killed. There are some access issues with private property but can be worked around with the right outfitter. The X Bar One ranch is located in the middle of the unit, the Fort Rock on the southwest side. The Hualapai reservation on the north. Can be great with the right information before applying. Elevations are from 3,500 to 5,500 feet. Expect to see 300 – 330” with a possibility of 350+ .
- 39% harvest rate in 2018

UNIT 17A/17B/18B/19B
Another limited opportunity hunt. There are a ton of places to hunt but the elk are scattered. There are annually some huge bulls here but again access issues must be dealt with. The famous ORO ranch is in the middle of the area and always has some great bulls. Can be good but again know the risks when applying. Elevations are from 3,500 to 7,000 feet. Expect to see 300 – 330” with a possibility of 350+.

This unit holds quite a few elk and an occasional 350+ bull. Elevation is from 5,000 – 7,500 feet. Expect to see 300 – 320” with a possibility of 340+.
