This unit is situated in the north-central part of the state, bordering South Dakota. It features strong deer populations, although public access is limited. Securing permission for private land or thoroughly researching public access options will be essential for a successful hunt. Many areas near the Niobrara River and along the southern border consist of agricultural lands, while the undeveloped regions around the river include heavily wooded draws leading to the valley. In recent years, several bucks from this unit have made it into the record books, with Brown County being particularly notable, located in the south-central area just north of Ainsworth.
