Area 3 is located in the northeast corner of the state and just west of the city of Sundance. Comprised of high plains desert and forested hills, this unit contains small amounts of BLM and State lands and even a small block of National Forest lands. Public hunting opprotunies are very limited here and most of the success in this unit is found on private lands.
This area has limited public access via country roads that touch State and BLM Lands. An outfitter can be useful in gaining access to private lands. Antelope are more concentrated in the western part of the unit, but the terrain throughout the area is good for stalking.
