This is a huge unit, especially when compared to its sister unit 2A. Some of the most productive deer hunting in this unit is in the Goose River drainage. This cuts right through the heart of the unit, and while there is not any public land along it, knowing how to ask permission or what landowners are open to hunting is a sure-fire way to get your hands on a North Dakota deer.

In general, if you are looking to put a large deer on the ground in this unit, you are going to either need to know a landowner, be good at knocking on doors and asking for permission, or be willing to pay for access to private ground.
