This unit lies within North Dakota's Badlands region, known for its dramatic buttes and steep draws. While the terrain here is generally less rugged than the northern units, it still offers plenty of forested creek bottoms and draws that attract deer. Big Gumbo Creek branches off the Little Missouri River and flows toward Montana, creating a fertile creek bottom with numerous watering holes ideal for whitetails. If you have the opportunity, this area is worth exploring. The unit supports healthy deer populations, and hunters typically find success throughout the hunting season.
