This larger unit is found in the southwest corner of the state along the Wyoming and Nebraska state lines. A wide array of terrain types can be encountered here along with a healthy amount of public lands to pursue them on. The terrain has scattered CRP mixed with rolling hills and pine ridges fading into the grass and spot and stalk tactics can work excellent here.

Good antelope numbers and ample amount of public land are found in this unit and DIY hunters can be in for a great hunt.

This unit has a mix of everything, there are many small creeks covering the unit with all the classic riparian vegetation up and down their banks. You can expect to see lots of pine-covered ridges on the northern end of the unit but as you progress to the south the tree cover quickly dissipates into wide-reaching prairie lands.

A mix of short and tall prairie grass for miles in all directions as well as countless species of wildflowers can be found in most areas of the unit that haven’t been turned for agricultural purposes. Heavy conifer timber can be found in the more northern areas of the unit, getting more sparse as you work your way south. Along the different creek beds you can find a mix of Cottonwood, American Elm, Green Ash, and Bur Oak can be found along the riparian zone of all the different creek bottoms scattered across the unit.

The primary route found crossing the unit from the south to the north and fading to the east would be highway 18 from the town of Dudley, to Hot Springs. Highway 71 also moves from south to the north leading to Hot Springs. There are smaller county roads scattered across the unit that give way to less maintained rural roads across the unit.

Located on the far east side of the unit is the town of Hot Springs. There are a number of established campgrounds in and close to this town. There are a few others scattered across the unit, but for the most part this is the most notable in the area. Primitive camping is allowed most of the time on the National Forest and Grassland, it is a good idea to contact either entity prior to arrive to check for random closures.
