There is only a handful of walk-in access options in this unit, without prior arrangements to access a piece of private land there is very little opportunity to hunt in this entire unit
GOHUNT maps are highly recommended to help navigate private boundaires
Located in the south central part of the state this unit is not typically going to be a good fit for DIY hunters outside of having a relationship with a landowner as there is virtually no public land in the entire unit and very limited walk-in access areas. The terrain is fantastic and offers some incredible habitat for antelope with miles and miles of small tree lined creek bottoms and broken CRP.
Good antelope populations can be found here but the lack up public access options can make this an extremely difficult hunt for most hunters.
