Unit 125 sits in eastern Yuma County country around Wray—the Arikaree River and Republican River tributary corridor that defines this slice of the eastern plains. Elevations 3,800 to 4,400 feet. The Arikaree drainage cuts a meaningful ribbon of cottonwood, plum thicket, and Russian olive habitat through the unit, and the headwaters of the Republican feed in from the south. Off the riparian corridors, the country is rolling shortgrass and sandsage with heavy ag (dryland and irrigated corn, wheat, milo) and significant aged CRP. The whitetail population in the Arikaree bottom is genuinely strong—bucks that grew up on cornfields and disappear into Russian olive at first light. Mule deer hold the sandsage breaks, deeper draws, and shelterbelts; pronghorn cover the open uplands. Public ground includes Sandsage Ranch SWA, Stalker Lake SWA, Hale Ponds SWA pieces, and a strong Walk-In Access roster (Yuma County is consistently one of the better WIA counties). The rest is deeded private ag ground. US-385 cuts north-south through Wray; CO-3 runs east into the Arikaree country and north toward Holyoke. Wray has gas, groceries, motels, processors, and a hospital—a real working town. Cell service is decent on the highways and weaker on the county grid. Late November whitetail rut is the marquee hunt and produces 150-class bucks regularly for hunters with access; pronghorn rifle in October is the easier ticket and the country's open enough for classic spot-and-stalk. The country is windy and the dirt roads grease up fast in any rain.
