This unit is located in the south-central region of the state and is divided by the well-known Platte River. It supports healthy deer populations, providing hunters with excellent opportunities to pursue bucks. The majority of the area consists of private lands, which can present access challenges but also promote strong herd health and antler growth. Around the Platte River, most private lands are dedicated to agricultural crops, while the northern half features natural rolling grasslands. The highest concentrations of whitetails are typically found in riparian zones and agricultural fields. Several record-book bucks have been harvested in this unit, with many coming from various parts of the area, particularly Custer County in the north-central section near Broken Bow.
