This triangular and almost entirely private unit is part of the Big Sandy Creek drainage, which is home to pronghorn antelope, whitetail deer and mule deer. One side of the triangle is U.S. Highway 287, which runs parallel to the creek between Hugo and Wild Horse.
Although mule deer and whitetail deer numbers are low, some bucks get old because landowners limit the number of hunters. Expect to pay a landowner or outfitter. Some landowners sell transferable vouchers that allow hunters to bypass the annual permit drawing. Public hunting is limited to Hugo and Kinney Lake State Wildlife Areas, which cover a total of 2,295 acres. Some local farmers give hunting permission to pronghorn hunters but not to deer hunters.
