Set modest standards, be mobile, and enjoy a wonderful part of the world. Really beautiful area. If you have time midday or tag out early, there are lots of neat POI to check out- the caves are a personal favorite, and Custer Stare Park is always fun

Lots of whitetail. Have seen a few mule deer in all my years in that area around the hills. Lots of tourist attractions around there hunting wise I would go a ways north south or east

I agree with this. Get more toward the outer edges of the unit. Foothills type stuff. You'll see more deer than you will have opportunities to take one. Don't get discouraged, it will be a matter of the right spot at the right time.

Went through that area for vacation a few years ago with the family. Beautiful area with a lot of deer from what I can tell. If you get some time to drive through custer state park, do it.

Good luck and keep us posted how it goes. Also if you are a fisherman bring along a fly rod or a small spinning rod. Tons of water to fish around that area.

Roger that, thank you. I’m bringing my family and love fishing. I’ll have a multiple rods ready go.

This is a very good point. You should see plenty of deer. Having good, close opportunities is tougher than you’d imagine, but once you find the deer, you’ll find them in good numbers- at least the whitetails. Muleys are much less dense
