Private-land ownership dominates this unit, which is north of Sterling. Ranchers might allow hunting but hunters should inquire months before any hunting trip. A good number of trophy antelope and mule deer are taken each year.
Hiring an outfitter may be the best source of access to both antelope and mule deer bucks. Some whitetail bucks might be along creek bottoms or near irrigated fields a few miles northwest of South Platte River.
