Quick Tips
Bring your shotgun for pheasants, sharptail grouse, and possibly a greater prairie chicken
There is very little state land and walk-in access in this unit -without prior arrangements for private access made, there is very little opportunity to hunt here
This is a great opportunity in a portion of the state where access is very limited. The LaCreek Wildlife Refuge takes up a large piece of real estate in this unit to the tune of over 16,000 acres along the Lake Creek which winds its way through the entire refuge. With multiple lakes and creek bottoms between each of them, this is fantastic habitat for whitetail deer, pheasants, and sharptail grouse. If you are looking to hunt mule deer, the southern sandhills of this unit can produce some nice deer, but access is very limited there, so be prepared to knock on some doors, or have prior arrangements on a piece of property in order to be successful.
Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge is a 16,000+ acre wildlife haven that holds a fantastic population of whitetail deer, pheasant, sharptail grouse, and many different species of waterfowl, along with many other small mammals and birds.
