Limon is at the northern tip of this unit, which is almost entirely private land that supports good numbers of pronghorn antelope and a few whitetail deer and mule deer. Dry farms, mostly bean fields, comprise about half the land, while the balance is dry rangeland almost devoid of vegetation other than yuccas and prairie grasses.

Deer numbers are low in this open, barren unit, but both whitetails and mule deer sometimes get old enough to grow trophy size antlers because the state limits deer tags. To hunt here you must get permission from a landowner, pay a trespass fee, buy a landowner voucher or book a hunt with an outfitter who has leases here. Elk are not found within this unit, although an over-the-counter tag is available. Some landowners give hunting permission to reduce crop losses to game.

Land is flat with a few dry and wet streams meandering through open fields of prairie grass and crop fields. Cottonwoods and scrub brush grow along streams. Water levels can change drastically every year. Water sources are limited to Rush Creek and its tributaries and Long Branch Creek. Hunters can see long distances, but so can deer and pronghorn antelope.

Farming crops are the predominant vegetation throughout the unit. Wheat, hay, corn and alfalfa supply ample food for deer and pronghorn. Wooded areas are limited to along either wet or dry stream beds. Cottonwood trees along the stream beds with prairie grasses and sage brush scattered throughout the non farmed, rocky lands is also common.

You can get here from Interstate 170 in the north, U.S. 40 in the east, State Route 94 in the south, and State Route 71 in the west. Farmers access fields through an extensive network of dirt and sand roads.

Lodging is available in Limon and Hugo. Both towns are on the edges of the unit. A motel and a bed and breakfast are in Hugo. Limon has several hotels and motels and often has room with late notice. Camping is permitted in the Hugo and Kinney Lake state wildlife areas.
