This elk unit is found in the central part of the state and features a healthy population of elk and a varied offering of terrain types. There are many scattered state parcels and a large wildlife refuge in the western part of the unit. Some other opportunities such as lands in the Open Fields And Waters Program lands and wildlife management areas are also available for public access.

Compared to other units, lower numbers of elk have been taken here. Most elk have been harvested in the sandhills country north of highway 2. Highly recommend hiring an outiftter due to the lack of public land and overall elk numbers.
