PLOTS properties and the Little Missouri National Grassland create a large, consecutive area of public access in the unit's badlands
Unit B1 is one of the larger sheep units in the state and is part of North Dakota’s badlands region known for its rugged terrain and colorful soils. This is definitely a rough hunting unit. There are plenty of buttes and draws, especially along the Little Missouri River, that hold bighorn sheep. Little Missouri National Grassland can be found throughout this unit. You'll find lots of public access, but getting a vehicle close enough to your hunting spot could be challenging in some places.
The Little Missouri River badlands hold the majority of the sheep within the unit. Some areas are more rugged and remote than others. Be sure to check out the harvest reports for a good starting point in search of a good mature ram.
