Quick Tips
This is an excellent unit with a ton of river-bottom habitat
Hunting near the rivers is a good bet and will provide tree-stand hunting opportunities
Hunters who enjoy a little variety should not leave the shotgun at home as there are plenty of waterfowl opportunities
On the east side of the state, Unit 2F2 is part of the Sheyenne-James region, and as such offers phenomenal whitetail habitat. The Jamestown River flows through the western edge of the unit and many lakes and ponds are found throughout the area. These areas provide the kind of terrain that deer love, with plenty of nooks and crannies for cover while still having an ample amount of food and water.
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.
