On The Ground

Located in the western part of the state, this small unit covers a small strip of land that surrounds the town of Lincoln. Mainly within the city limits, it reaches into the surrounding timbered housing developments and agriculture fields.

This hunting district is restricted to archery equipment only. In the past few years, it has produced a few whitetail bucks. There were also a few smaller bulls taken, but does and cows usually make up most of the harvests in the district.

Terrain

This unit is extremely small in overall size. It is made up of 9 miles of river bottom, meadows and other agriculture fields. Very flat country.

  • Roughly 17 square miles

  • 16.3% public land

  • Elevations from 4,200–4,500 feet

Tall ponderosa pines tower high above the lush cottonwood river bottom. The understory is thick with red cedar brush. Local agriculture produces hay grass and alfalfa.

It can be difficult, but this hunt was implemented to help keep the wildlife from tearing apart the neighborhoods, so just knocking on a few doors can go a long way. You may not be able to harvest the trophy buck or bull but filling the freezer is definitely an option.

  • Highway 200 and Herrin Way are the main access roads

Lincoln has some options for lodging, gas, other amenities and a sporting goods store.

  • Blackfoot Canyon, Hooper Park and Aspen Grove are all public campgrounds
