Antlerless and either-sex elk permits are available through the statewide drawing. Elk, white-tailed deer, and mule deer can be seen from the county road during winter with binoculars or a spotting scope. Black and grizzly bears can occasionally be observed along streams or forest margins. Bird-watching opportunities begin in spring with a variety of songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and shorebirds. Furbearers such as beavers and muskrats are active in lakes and streams.
Coyotes are common in all habitats.
