The unit contains part of the Missouri Plateau. This plateau is characterized by rolling hills and grasslands, which makes for good deer habitat. The plateau rises relatively sharply, and the prominent terrain has many ravines. These often have small to large pockets of forested areas, as well as ample food for deer. There are several public access areas on the western slope that provide phenomenal hunting opportunities.

Good deer herds and numbers can be found here and hunters with good access, or private access, can be in for a great hunt. Whitetail are more common in this unit than mule deer.
