North of Lusk many sections of BLM, state and private lands can be found that support herds of mule deer and whitetails roaming grassland, farmland and creek bottoms. Public land can be difficult to access.For nonresidents, this area is part of Region B and tags drawn for this area are also valid in: 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 21.

Bucks favor the hills, ridges, breaks and farmlands. Hunters that gain access to private lands have increased chances of harvesting a mature buck.

Chimney and Steamboat Rock, Cedar Breaks, Flat Top and Hat Creek Breaks all represent the ruggedness of the unit. Rolling grasslands, complex drainages, long draws and huge flats all add to the vastness of the area.

Buffalo and blue grama grasslands intermixed with sagebrush cover the open prairie areas. Juniper and ponderosa pine create dense bedding areas along ridges, with cottonwoods located in creek bottoms. Irrigated croplands can be found east of Lusk.

Public access can be very difficult to gain in this unit and it is important to know the land ownership boundaries. State walk-in areas provide over 44,000 acres of hunting, with 7,000 acres designated as whitetail-only hunting. Bulk of the public state land is located in the central portion of the unit in the Seventy-Seven Hills and the Horseshoe Hills.

BLM does not provide any developed campgrounds, but dispersed camping is allowed. Lusk offers RV campgrounds, motels, restaurants, medical facilities, gas and diesel.
