If you've drawn a tag for Unit 3D2, you'll have access to a variety of State Trust Lands and PLOTS properties. The northern section of the unit, particularly the northwest corner, is rugged and characterized by numerous small draws and limited road access. While the unit offers excellent hunting opportunities overall, the public access areas are generally smaller and more dispersed. Success in the area is often enhanced by securing private land, especially near creeks and ridges. Whitetail deer are widespread throughout the unit, with concentrations around creeks, rivers, and adjacent crop fields.
