At a Glance
North Dakota’s secondary pronghorn range covers all of this unit. Running between Highway 8 and Lake Oahe, Unit 6-A is a larger unit at nearly 90 miles wide. Archery and rifle pronghorn hunting on the Standing Rock Reservation is allowed by North Dakota residents and non-residents. Since hunting on the reservation is managed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Game and Fish Department rather than North Dakota’s Game and Fish agency, a tribal license is required and some regulations may vary. You can find additional information online or by contacting the reservation’s Fish and Wildlife Division.
This is an excellent pronghorn unit with plenty of food and water throughout. There are more than enough smaller State Trust Lands and PLOTS parcels to support hunters looking for public access.
