Private land dominates this unit, it is largely owned by Green Diamond Resource Company. Hwy 101 and Road 8 form the eastern and southern borders. Most of the western border is the West Fork Satsop River with the remaining western edge and all of the northern being a combination of smaller roads. Green Diamond Resource Company requires an access permit to hunt significant portions of their timberlands.
Elk are scattered throughout the unit.
This unit’s rolling hills are heavily logged and are planted back into timber or tree farms creating an ever-changing patchwork of cover. Green Diamond owns the largest continuous tracts of land, however, this unit is significantly divided into private land holdings of all sizes and shapes.
The Capitol State Forest is located in the southeast corner, the rest of the unit are simply private lands. Securing access to private land and knowing borders is extremely important when hunting this GMU.
This unit consists of fir and alder forests to the tidal saltwater coastline. The entire GMU has been heavily logged, and in some areas has been repurposed into agricultural lands for cattle, Christmas trees, and timber.
