Quick Tips

Sporting goods stores are located in Belfield and Dickinson for any ammo or supplies
Public access in this unit is somewhat limited, talk with landowners prior opening day
Early mornings and evenings around wheat and alfalfa fields are antelope hotspots
Be on the lookout for creeks and ponds = set up nearby and wait for the pronghorn to get thirsty
Stop and glass wheatgrass fields and croplands often

Sandstone buttes, creeks, ponds, sloughs, ridges and livestock pastures make up the majority of Unit 8-A. Although it’s part of the state’s secondary pronghorn range, the west side of the unit is literally a few miles from the primary range. This combined with the rough, somewhat barren landscape makes 8-A a definite hotspot for pronghorn, especially along the western edge of the unit.

Unit 8-A offers a great chance at success. The western portion of the unit is part of the primary range for pronghorn. There are more than enough smaller State Trust Lands and PLOTS parcels to support hunters looking for public access.
