On The Ground

Good deer herds and numbers can be found here and hunters with good access, or private access, can be in for a great hunt. Whitetail are m0re common in this unit than mule deer.
Terrain
There are two moraines in this unit that make for a unique hunting experience. Altamont Moraine is on the west side of the unit, while Streeter Moraine is on the east side. Both of these areas provide broken up country that whitetail deer love to call home. While there is not much in the way of tree cover, the rolling hills and broken up terrain provide plenty of places for deer to hide. Long Lake Creek runs through Altamont Moraine and provides riparian habitat that deer enjoy. There are several small plots of land that will certainly hold deer, but most of these are managed for waterfowl hunting. The eastern side of the unit contains many small pothole ponds.
