WA Mule Deer Unit 142 — Almota

WA 142 — Almota. Terrain & Access WA 142 spans from low-elevation foothill country (541 ft) to high terrain exceeding 3,400 ft, offering hunters a broad elevation gradient. The unit totals roughly 493,000 acres, but public land comprises only 6%—a significant constraint for unguided hunters. The vast majority is private, heavily timbered land, typical of eastern Washington's industrial forest landscape. Public access is limited to scattered parcels and road systems; most huntable ground requires either private landowner permission or payment to timber companies for crossing or hunting rights.
