On The Ground
This area can be found in the northeastern part of the state northeast of Gillette. Made up of the high plains desert, this unit has a mix of private land with small amounts of BLM and state land. Good amounts of antelope can be found here but the best odds for success will generally be found on private lands
This hunt area has poor general access to public land and these areas tend to be crowded during the season. Success can be found on public land but hunters should be prepared to work for it.
Terrain
This area consists of different types of grassy and desert-like open prairie with large basins, creek bottoms and rolling hills that are good for putting on a stalk. There are also private ranch and farm lands that can bring in antelope from the surrounding prairies.
