Topography and Vegetation: Elevation ranges from 5,500 to 10,000 feet. A portion of the Laramie Mountains are in this hunt area, however there is very little suitable habitat for pronghorn. The majority of the hunt area is low sage and shortgrass prairie. Most of the area has very little variation in terrain and therefore can be difficult to hunt.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Pronghorn are well distributed throughout the prairie. The main access roads are Tunnel road (Albany County road 727) the Fetterman road (Albany County road 61), and the Marshall road (Albany County road 610). View the hunt planner map for available Access Yes (Walk-In-Areas and Hunter Management Areas) land open to pronghorn hunting. Given relatively poor access to public lands in this area, hunter crowding can be a concern. Hunters are encouraged to consider avoiding weekends as well as hunting later in the season to better distribute hunting pressure.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: There is general deer hunting in Hunt Area 64 as well as a Type 1 license designed to provide a quality hunt on the Laramie Peak Wildlife Habitat Management Area, north of the Tunnel road. There is also limited-quota whitetail hunting opportunity. Elk hunt Area 7 is limited quota and managed under special management guidelines to increase bull quality. Waterfowl can be found early in the season on the large reservoirs. Cottontail rabbit and Blue (Dusky) grouse can be found in this area. Consult Chapters 14 and 11 of the Regulations for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits. Mountain lion and black bear also can occasionally be found (Chapters 42 and 3).
