Quick Tips
Although there are plenty of public spots, having a plat map never hurts just in case
With so much of this unit's private property being used as PLOTS areas, a current PLOTS map is essential to navigate the various walk-in areas
Be on the lookout for brushy draws and cottonwood creek bottoms for big whitetails
Early mornings and evenings around wheat and alfalfa fields are whitetail hotspots
North Dakota’s Unit 3E1 features badlands, sandstone buttes, brushy creek and river bottoms and a lot of agricultural property. Although it’s part of the state’s secondary mule deer range, the northwest corner of 3E1 is only 7 miles from the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and the unit’s western edge is 5 miles from the primary mule deer range. This unit provides everything mule deer and whitetail could want. Consider yourself lucky if you’re able to draw a tag here.
Great deer populations and hunting conditions are found here along with excellent habitat.
