Quick Tips
Watch for dense thickets of buckbrush = whitetail love bedding here during the day
North Dakota's primary mule deer range follows the Little Missouri River and extends south to the Killdeer Mountains WMA
Between the National Grassland, BLM land and State Trust Lands along the Little Missouri River Valley, there's a bunch of excellent habitat for muleys and whitetails
Be prepared with water, food and fuel = once you're away from civilization there aren't many places to pick up supplies
If you’re lucky enough to draw in unit 4A, there’s some exceptional opportunities for both mule and whitetail deer. The majority of this unit is rough badlands. There is a good amount of public access areas, providing hunters with excellent options to hunt throughout the unit. Overall, if you’ve drawn a mule deer tag, they can be found throughout this unit, but the majority of herds tend to stick to the Little Missouri River valley and the Little Missouri National Grassland. If you have a whitetail tag, the Killdeer Mountains WMA has been a hotspot in recent years.
If you’re able to find a good spot near Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and wait patiently for something to cross off of the park’s property and onto huntable property, you could be rewarded with a B&C trophy.
