Quick Tips
This area is dominated by private property. Spend some time in the area before hunting season so you can better understand which private property allows hunting and which doesn't
The rivers in this area all provide excellent habitat and are surrounded by farmland that is sure to produce large deer. This would be a good place to focus your efforts
The public access in the area is made up largely of waterfowl production areas. They can hold deer but are small. It is best to focus on figuring out where you can hunt on private property
This is a huge unit, especially when compared to its sister unit 2A. Some of the most productive deer hunting in this unit is in the Goose River drainage. This cuts right through the heart of the unit, and while there is not any public land along it, knowing how to ask permission or what landowners are open to hunting is a sure-fire way to get your hands on a North Dakota deer.
In general, if you are looking to put a large deer on the ground in this unit, you are going to either need to know a landowner, be good at knocking on doors and asking for permission, or be willing to pay for access to private ground.
