The unit is found in the northwest corner of the state and lies along the South Dakota state line. This is one of the more notable elk units in the state and this unit has been sought after by applicants for years. A good distribution of public lands are found in this unit, but generally speaking, most elk activity occurs on private lands. Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime harvest for residents, many lucky tag holders opt to hire outfitters to ensure private access.

Bulls can grow quite large in this area but the lack of public hunting opportunities can make things tough. Consider hiring an outfitter to ensure private access to lands holding elk.
