If you are looking for a chance to plan a DIY hunt this is not a bad choice with its many acres of public lands. There is a major section of the Badlands National Park to contend with in this unit but there are many miles of public grassland surrounding the National Park. As you move further east into the unit the amount of public land gets more scarce and if you are looking to plan a hunt in this portion of the unit it will need to be with prior arrangements as much of the landscape is private land. The southern half of the unit is largely comprised of both private and tribal lands, hunters will need private permission to hunt these areas.
