This unit is found in the central portion of the state and features a healthy population of deer and a varied offering of terrain types. Public land is limited here but thorough research can lead hunters to opportunities such as lands in the Open Fields And Waters Program lands and wildlife management areas.

Securing private access will lead to the best odd of success but hunters willing to put in the time on public lands can find success.

In the eastern half of this unit, traditional agricultural lands dominate, while towards the west, the landscape transforms into a broken terrain reminiscent of sand hill country. Despite the increasing variation in terrain towards the west, hunters will encounter minimal difficulty in navigating nearly all of this unit.

The majority of this region comprises agricultural crop lands, interspersed with scattered stands of mature hardwoods. Ground cover thrives within these wooded areas, creating prime deer habitat. Numerous creeks, rivers, and reservoirs dot the landscape. The western half of the unit has a good collection of mostly undeveloped lands that are characterized by rolling grass slopes and timbered bottoms and draws.

Given the scarcity of public lands, hunters must depend on maps and e-scouting to uncover viable hunting prospects. While there are some scattered state-owned parcels, hunters can also explore wildlife management areas and lands enrolled in the Open Fields and Waters Program for additional access opportunities. The southwest corner of the unit has a decent collection of state-owned lands but some of the bigger pieces of Open Fields and Waters lands will be found in the southeastern corner around Highway 70 and south, and to the north just south of O'Neill. This area has recorded some record book bucks, and while a big buck could live anywhere, Antelope County on the far east side of the unit has produced more entries than any other county in the unit.

Most of the larger towns and communities will be located along the outside edges of the unit. However, lodging options can be found in the form of hotels, motels, and rental properties scattered throughout the unit. Additionally, some public campsites are available. Sporting goods can be found through the area with some of the best selections generally being found in the larger cities.
