Last updated by Aricin Rotarius


Nestled in the northwestern corner of the state, adjacent to South Dakota and Wyoming, this large unit offers a variety of habitats that sustain healthy Whitetail populations. The region predominantly consists of rolling prairies, with agricultural fields interspersed throughout. Much of the area remains untouched, providing exceptional hunting opportunities. Numerous creek beds meander through the terrain, creating natural breaks that are ideal for spot-and-stalk hunting adventures.
