This unique unit is actually split into three different sections of the Custer National Forest in the far northwest corner of the state. Comprised mostly of public land this is an excellent choice for hunters looking to plan a DIY style of hunt. Made up of large stretches of pine and conifer trees mixed with stretches of prairie throughout. There are no services located in the actual hunting area of this unit so hunters will need to be prepared for a more remote and primitive hunting experience. Buffalo, South Dakota is the most notable town in the region but will require some driving to and from the hunt area if you choose to make this town the home base. There are good populations of both species of deer in this unit. Hunters who are lucky enough to hunt this unit have had good success with lots of opportunity.

This unit is considered a target rich environment for both mule deer or whitetail deer.
