WA Elk Unit 163 — Marengo
AI Scout Preview
WA 163 - Marengo: Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access WA 163 spans 903 to 3,297 feet across 96,000 acres with only 5% public land. This is a heavily privatized unit where access is the defining constraint. The low public-land percentage means successful hunters depend on private-land permission, working relationships with landowners, or being embedded in local networks.

Trophy Potential The counties overlapping WA 163 hold a notable trophy pedigree. Record-book entries from Columbia County show exceptional production..
