The Hoko River flows loosely along the interior border. Hoko is almost all private with the exception of a few sections of state and reservation lands. Snag Peak is the highest point at 2,034-ft and is located in the middle of the unit.
The hunting can be difficult here due to the thick vegetation but sticking to timber lands can provide some glassable terrain.
This unit has rolling hills, some of which can be steep in spots, with a broken mix of forests and clearcuts at varying stages of regrowth. Open slopes offer diversity in grasses and brush as forests naturally age.
Access is almost all private land and is best secured early with just a few sections of state land in the eastern corner.
This unit has thick lush cover with cleared lands in various sizes. Clear cuts are typically replanted by timber companies. There are also multiple single-family residential properties and small farms here. This unit does hold a little bit of pristine habitat that is critical to supporting wildlife populations. Tidal flats and marshland are common as elevations rise just a few hundred feet above sea level.
This is basically a day hunt unit and there are no towns within this GMU.
