Unit 3A1 boasts numerous public-access opportunities to harvest a whitetail. It is a great unit for public-land whitetail and a decent unit for public-land mule deer. It’s one of the few units in northwest North Dakota that delivers enough public hunting property to support large numbers of public-land hunters.
Good populations of deer can be found in this unit. Whitetail tend to be more common but some great mule deer opportunities can be found.
