This unit is centrally located within the state and offers outstanding deer habitat. Private lands provide some of the best opportunities for success, with a variety of terrain types suitable for hunters of all experience levels. Healthy deer populations are present throughout the unit, but the highest concentrations of whitetails are typically found near riparian zones and agricultural fields. In recent years, several bucks from this unit have made it into the record books. While large bucks can be found throughout, Custer County, situated in the south-central area near Broken Bow, has produced the most entries.
