This small unit is part of the Northern Coteau region, one of North America’s prime waterfowl nesting areas. This region is generally characterized by rolling, grassy hills, rocky soils, and many lakes. However, the Turtle Mountains and many lakes make this one of North Dakota’s more unique deer units.

Good populations of deer can be found within the unit but hunting pressure can be high in public areas. Hunters may need seek private land access or think outside the box when hunting public.
