Located on the western edge of the state along the Nebraska border, this expansive zone extends from Sioux City in the north to the southern state line. It boasts a robust deer population with excellent genetics. The area is primarily composed of privately owned croplands, mixed with extensive stands of mature hardwoods, and features numerous creeks, rivers, reservoirs, and swamps. Compared to other zones, public land access here is relatively good, offering hunters several options for those who prefer to hunt exclusively on public grounds.
