HuntVantage habitat grade
Grade distribution of the habitat cells inside the unit — higher-scoring cells are the pockets worth scouting first. HuntVantage weighs cover, water, food, hunting pressure, and habitat diversity from public land-cover and land-ownership data.
Per-species ratings
Overall grade measures general habitat; these species ratings re-weight the same factors for each animal’s needs — the number that matters for a species-specific hunt.
Public land & access
19% of GMU 121 is public land; 19% is public and open-access.
Mostly private timber and farmland with scattered DNR blocks and BLM parcels, plus Lake Roosevelt NRA (National Park Service) on the Columbia side — only about a fifth of the unit is public, so line up access before the season.
Ownership from PAD-US; a cell is one ~0.46 km habitat hexagon. Verify boundaries and access on the ground — inholdings and seasonal closures aren’t shown here.
