Located in the far eastern portion of the state with Sioux Falls just to the north. This unit is almost entirely private ground with just a couple small pieces of walk-in access and even less state land. If you are planning a hunt in this unit it would be best if you arrive with prior arrangements made on some portion of private land as without you will be very limited. The Big Sioux River runs north to south along the eastern border of the unit which offers great habitat if you are able to obtain access.
With very limited public access there are few hunters headed to this Unit without a plan around hunting some private property, this being said there is very little chatter on the internet about this particular GMU.
Quick Tips
- Bring your Shotgun as there may be options to hunt some upland game as well as waterfowl in the area
- There is very little state land and walk-in access in this unit, without prior arrangements to access a piece of private land there is very little opportunity to hunt in this entire unit
