Located just southeast of Sturgis, Interstate 90 makes up the western boundary and runs all the way south towards Piedmont. The western side of the unit is very broken as part of the foothills of the Black Hills while the eastern side of the unit is situated in the more classic prairie. There is very little public land available in this unit. If you are planning on hunting here a prearranged plan around some private ground is going to be the best plan. Good numbers of elk can be found in this unit, but public land to hunt is at a minimum. It is worth researching and getting landowner permission prior to applying.

Great hunting conditions are found here but the lack of public hunting opportunities can send most DIY hunters into adjacent units.
