This unit has some big, steep country that is not easily hunted. Access will be easy here since a majority of the unit is state land, with a small portion of private, typically in the lower elevations and along the borders.

This can be a good elk hunt, but it can be hard - it is not for road hunters.

This is a steep, thick unit with a few major drainages to the Pacific Ocean, the Hoh Clearwater and Queets River. The eastern half consists of old growth forest, and the further west you go into private, clearcut areas, the more likely you are to see game.

This unit has easy access to state grounds, however, it is advised to check into private land access as well to maximize your hunting opportunities.

This unit has thick old growth timber with clear cutting on private lands, typically replanted by timber companies, along with some small farms close to the main roads. Tidal flats and marshland are common as coastal elevations rise just a few hundred feet above sea level.

Primitive camping in the National Forest is allowed during most of the year, but various fire bans and forest road closures may happen, so double check any restrictions or permits necessary prior to your trip. Some overnight camping may be allowed on certain Rayonier access permits as well. If you are more interested in lodging and being closer to gas stations, restaurants, and a grocery store, your best option is Fort Prairie, just north of the GMU.
