Opens noon on May 15. Few elk inhabit Threemile WMA during the summer, but they are often observable nonetheless. The most likely observations are of songbirds and raptors commonly found in upland grasslands and ponderosa pine forests. Threemile provides a mixture of motorized access and walk-in hunting opportunities for elk, mule deer, ruffed grouse, and black bear. The primary management goal is to provide winter range for elk and compatible recreational opportunities for the public.
