Area 29 is not a trophy area and public access is very difficult. Many of the ranches in the area are leased to outfitters, but a list of ranches with access or trophy fees is available at the Sport's Lure. This is a low-density mule deer unit, but some quality bucks can still be found.

This area requires a lot of hiking and traveling from valley to valley in order to find deer. The areas nearest to the Powder River are steeper and harder to climb than areas on the east side.

The tops of buttes and ridges are wind blown with light grass and rocks that recede into sagebrush. Mixed grasses and prickly pear cactus are also common throughout the unit.

Public access is very limited and most of the state and BLM on the north side can be accessed from Schoonover Road and Sussex Road on the south side. While there are significant amounts of BLM along the northern border along I-90, parking along the Interstate is not allowed. Having a GPS with mapping software is recommended.

Buffalo is the nearest city with accommodations like hotels, restaurants, gas stations and some grocery stores. Camping on State land is prohibited, but hunters can camp on BLM in a specific location for up to 14 days within any 28-day period. Kaycee on the South end has a grocery store and a gas station, but no accommodations.
