Sandstone buttes, creeks, ponds, sloughs, ridges and livestock pastures make up the majority of Unit 3D1. Although it’s part of the state’s secondary mule deer range, the northwest corner of 3D1 is literally a few miles from the primary range. This combined with the rough, somewhat barren landscape makes 3D1 a definite hotspot for mule deer, especially along the western edge of the unit.

Good populations of whitetail and mule deer can be found here. Whitetail tend to be more spread throughout with some of the best mule deer habitat being found on the western side of the unit.
