This smaller unit is located in the north central portion of the state along the South Dakota state line. There is a great distribution of public lands here but most of the prime elk habitat and harvest locations are found on private grounds. Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime harvest for residents, many lucky tag holders opt to hire outfitters to ensure private access.

A small but healthy herd of elk inhabit this unit. Nearly all elk encounters and kills have been recorded on private lands. It is recommended to secure private access or hire an outfitter for this hunt.
