If you drew a tag in Unit 9-C, you’ll have a number of State Trust Lands and PLOTS properties to choose from. The northern portion of this unit, especially the northwest corner, is extremely rough country with hundreds of small draws and few marked roads. A great hunting unit overall, but the public access areas are scattered and smaller for the most part. 9-C contains part of the Little Missouri River and extends east along Lake Sakakawea 30+ miles to Red Butte Bay, and south through the badlands.
Good antelope numbers can be found here along with good access options. Securing land to hand will be the biggest hurdle for most, but some good opportunities can still be found on public lands.
