This unit is found in the northwestern corner of the state and is a dramatic mix of prairie as well as abrupt elevation change throughout. There are patches of dense timber in the higher elevations and miles of prairie grass and CRP in all directions. A decent distribution of public lands can be found here along with a great collection of walk-in access areas.
Smaller densities of scattered elk are found here but some great bulls have been taken off this unit.
