The H unit is one of 12 mapped hunt units on Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in Alfalfa County, OK. It covers approximately 1,164 acres and is listed as “open – special regulations apply” for 2026–2027. That means hunting is permitted, but refuge-specific rules — such as limited species, dates, weapon types, access methods or quota permits — apply on top of state regulations.
