The Siouxon GMU is nearly 90% Forest Service land, which means it is almost entirely public land. This is a huge draw for big game hunters. This unit is large and the Wind River drainage is the main landscape feature, fingering out with smaller canyons and ravines from there. Much of the unit can be remote, with many logging roads that haven't been used in 20+ years, access to much of the area can be great with some effort. Elk numbers in the unit have been steady, while deer populations have been low in recent years, much like the surrounding areas. Attractive for its remote areas, the Siouxon unit also has the Indian Heaven Wilderness which remains unaltered. Elk hunting in this area can be fantastic, provided hunter effort gets them away from crowds. Lately, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has been conducting studies to find out what is causing the “hoof rot” disease in elk. Because of this, any harvested elk MUST have the hooves left in the field.

Blacktail numbers are on the rise, tags for antler-less deer have been reduced in recent years.
