This large unit is located on the far western edge of the state along the Wyoming state line. A very low density of elk are found here and hunting can be very difficult without prior knowledge of elk activity. Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime harvest for residents, many lucky tag holders opt to hire outfitters to ensure private access.

With low densities of elk found in this unit is it generally recommended that hunters find an outfitter.

Most of this area is composed of a rolling prairie landscape and brushy coulees. Agricultural areas cover the majority of the northeastern corner but most of this unit is untouched. Many creek beds wind themselves through the landscape creative breaks in the terrain that are excellent for spot and stalk adventures.

Typical prairie grasses and shrubs dominate most of the undeveloped areas. Creek bottoms with see a higher distribution of willows, cottonwoods, and pines. Stands of mature hardwoods will often be found in and around agricultural areas.

There is some public land in this unit but virtually all elk activity will exist on private lands. With this being a once-in-a-lifetime harvest, hunters are generally encouraged to seek private access through themselves, by paying trespass fees, or to go through an outfitter.

Modern lodging is available in any of the bigger towns in the unit. Due to the nature of this hunt and many tag holders going with an outfitter, most lodging and accommodations are generally taken care of.
