Quick Tips
This is an excellent unit with a ton of river-bottom habitat
Hunting near the rivers is a good bet and will provide tree-stand hunting opportunities
Hunters who enjoy a little variety should not leave the shotgun at home as there are plenty of waterfowl opportunities
If you want to hunt this unit, put in some time well before the season so you can figure out which private lands allow hunting
On the east side of the state, Unit 2F1 is part of the Sheyenne-James region, which offers phenomenal whitetail habitat, especially if you like to hunt out of a tree stand. The Sheyenne River flows through large portions of the unit, starting in the northwest corner, meandering west along the northern border before turning and running north to south along the eastern edge of the unit.
In general, if you are looking to put a large deer on the ground in this unit, you are going to either need to know a landowner, be good at knocking on doors and asking for permission, or be willing to pay for access to private ground.
