Mature mule deer and whitetail bucks have a lot of room in this unit to feed, bed and water. Identify boundaries around private land and spend time finding routes to public land before the hunting season.

Thousands of acres of rolling grassland and sagebrush can be found here combined with a couple of major drainages such as Beaver, Robbers Roost and Alkali Creeks.

Black Hills have a lot of ponderosa pine, juniper, willows and mountain mahogany. Most of the vegetation is a combination of buffalo and blue grama gasses, sagebrush and cottonwood also grow here.
