Find Hunts in Unit 4C
Unit 4C is one of the top units in North Dakota for drawing a whitetail deer tag. The eastern boundary of the unit, along Highway 85, is mostly made up of private land. To the north and west, the Little Missouri River forms the borders of the unit. A large portion of the area is part of Little Missouri National Grassland, offering thousands of acres of public land for hunting. It’s a good idea to study maps of the unit to identify potential hunting spots and scout them ahead of the season if possible. With strong deer populations throughout, dedicated hunters can find success and have the opportunity to take some impressive bucks.
