Unit 5 is in the northeast corner of the state along the Wyoming-South Dakota border. It is bordered on the north by Interstate 90, the east by the Wyoming-South Dakota border, the southwest by Highway 16, and the west/northwest by Highway 116. This unit can be a challenge to hunt due to the lack of public lands but hunters who stay committed and work hard can find success in these areas from time to time.

Smaller populations are found throughout this area with the bulk of them being on private lands. Securing private access is the best bet for success but tags do get filled on public lands each year.
