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 more available here than many other units but thorough research will still be needed to ensure a successful hunt. Some other opportunities such as lands in the Open Fields And Waters Program lands and wildlife management areas are also available for public access.

This can be a great unit for public land hunters as the distribution here is higher than most other units.

The northern edge of the unit sees some agricultural activity but the majority of his unit is comprised of undeveloped lands that are reminiscent of sand hills country. Despite the greater variation in terrain outside of the ag areas, hunters will encounter minimal difficulty in navigating nearly all of this unit.

The majority of the this area is composed of rolling hills covered in prairie grasses and shrubs. Many pocket lake and ponds dot the landscape and provide marshy conditions in their vicinity.

Private lands dominate most of the landscape, but a good collection of public lands are available. Sections of state owned lands can be found throughout the unit but the southwest corner contains a 90,000 acre piece of Forest Service land and the 31,000 acre Valentine National Wildlife Refuge which is found in the northwest corner.

Some of the larger towns and cities in the unit will be found along the northern border along Highway 20. Other lodging options can be found in the form of hotels, motels, and rental properties scattered throughout the unit. Additionally, some public campsites are available on the southern end of the unit. Sporting goods can be found through the area with some of the best selections generally being found in the larger cities.
