This unit is very broken, particularly on the western edge, as you are now in the foothills of the Blackhills while the eastern half of the unit features more of a classic prairie feel. There is very little public land available in this unit and if you are planning on hunting here a prearranged plan around some private ground is going to be the best plan as there is very little walk-in or public land available. There are multiple townships both large and small throughout the unit, particularly along Interstate 90 which will make the logistics of this unit much easier than most.

Good numbers of antelope can be found here but the lack of public access can make it very challenging for the DIY hunter. Some decent chunks of public can be found in the unit, particularly in the northeast, but most of the success will be found on private lands.

This unit is made up of multiple river systems, and countless creek beds losing elevation as it heads north. The southern border is approaching the foothills of the Blackhills area of the state while the northern portion of the unit is very much in the prairie. There is scattered agriculture throughout the unit but as a general rule, it is very sparse. The largest sections of public land will be found in. the northeast corner of the unit.

A mix of short and tall prairie grass for miles in all directions as well as countless species of wildflowers can be found in most areas of the unit that haven’t been turned for agricultural purposes. Very sparse timber which is primarily a mix of Cottonwood, American Elm, Green Ash, and Bur Oak can be found along the riparian zones of the various creek and river bottoms.

I-90 makes up the entire southern border while Highway 34 covers the north. Between these two highways, many county roads lead throughout the area and provide access to every corner of the unit.
