This general whitetail unit covers the west slope of the Crazy Mountains and many hunters find success in the area every year. Since about 80% of this unit is private land with intermittent agriculture, whitetail deer can be found in much of the area. These deer naturally seek out areas with dense cover and nearby access to food and water. When scouting for a mature buck, it is recommended to start with any areas that include creek bottoms and irrigated fields.
