This district is accessed by gravel county roads that run through the district. The majority of the antelope reside on private land and access to the private land is restricted. With some time invested, permission can be obtained. There are state sections and some BLM sections scattered throughout the district that offer public land to hunt.
The eastern portion of the district is dominated by grasslands with some scattered areas of dry land farming. Some of the creeks and rivers have irrigated crops next to them. The winds in this area can be severe, thus most of the grasslands are classified as short grass prairie.
