If you want to hunt antelope, you’ve come to the right place. Wyoming has more antelope than the rest of the continent, and harvest success commonly exceeds 85 percent. Pronghorn, called antelope here, are found only in western North America.

Approx. % of Public Land: 31%
Access to Public Land: Poor
Access Notes: There are several large parcels of State of Wyoming and BLM lands in this hunt area. However, the majority of public land in this area is either inaccessible (land-locked by private lands) or has little to no road access. In several instances, large parcels of public land are accessible to those hunters willing to walk several miles each way. On older BLM maps, the area depicted as the Naval Petroleum Reserve is not accessible to hunters or the general public. This area has since been purchased and is owned by a private company. Hunters should note that Natrona County Road 705 (Ormsby Road) extends clear to the Natrona-Converse County Line where the public access easement ends. The last ~3.5 miles of this road are an unmaintained two-track through the sagebrush. Most accessible public lands occur in the south-central portion of the hunt area or along the frontage road immediately east of Interstate 25.

Topography and Vegetation: In this area, most antelope occupy rolling hills and plains dominated by sagebrush grasslands.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Given relatively poor access to public lands in this area, hunter crowding can be a concern on accessible public lands. Hunters are encouraged to consider hunting later in the season to better distribute hunting pressure. Antelope are well distributed throughout most of the hunt area. Many roads in this hunt area become nearly impassable when wet and muddy.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Cottontail rabbit are typically abundant in this area. Consult the Chapter 11 Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits. Coyote and prairie dog hunting are also abundant and no license is required to hunt these species. Permission is still required to hunt any species on private lands.
Herd Unit Job Completion Report: See the PR748 (North Converse) Job Completion Report for more detailed information on the management of this antelope (pronghorn) herd.

Hunter Education Requirements

No person born on or after January 1, 1966, may take any wildlife by the use of firearms on land other than that of his own family, unless the person possesses or can demonstrate they have obtained a certificate of competency and safety in the use and handling of firearms.

All Elk Hunt Area 75 and 79 (Grand Teton National Park) hunters, regardless of age, must possess and exhibit a valid hunter safety certificate.

Compliance will be checked in the field.

Hunter Education Exemptions

If you meet the Armed Forces/Wyoming Peace Officer exemption requirements or you have obtained special 1 year authorization through the Hunter Mentor Program, you are exempt from hunter education.

Hunter Mentor Program

Any person born on or after January 1, 1966, who has not received a certificate of competency and safety in the use and handling of firearms, may apply to the Department for a special authorization to take wildlife with the use of a firearm while being accompanied by a mentor. A special authorization issued to an individual shall be valid for one (1) year from the date of issue and shall be in the possession of the recipient at all times while in the field.

Animal carcasses must be disposed of properly at designated sites that allow for it. Please click on this link to locate an area near you and check with the disposal site for details regarding your carcass disposal.

About Antelope Hunting in Wyoming

Limited Quota

All Wyoming antelope hunt areas are managed under a limited quota framework, meaning there are a set number of licenses valid for each specific hunt area. All hunt areas have full-price "any" antelope licenses (Type 0, 1, 2 or 9). Most hunt areas also provide reduced-price limited quota "doe/fawn" licenses (Type 6, 7 or 8), which can be obtained separately or in addition to a full-price license.

 

After the license draw has been held, hunters can purchase a second "any antelope" license in specific hunt areas, if still available. "Any antelope" licenses still available after the draw are typically found in areas that are predominately private land, so hunters are encouraged to line up access before buying the license. Hunters may purchase up to four doe/fawn antelope licenses, only two of which can be obtained through the draw.

Location

Wyoming's most sought after antelope hunting is primarily found in south-central, central and southwest Wyoming. Most hunt areas in these parts of Wyoming have ample public access on lands managed by the BLM. Public land hunt areas are typically hard to draw. Antelope are also abundant in northeast and east-central Wyoming, although finding access can be difficult because the area is largely private land.

 

In the table of tentative antelope hunting season information for this coming year, some license types are denoted with an asterisk (*) as having difficult public access. For these license types, there is limited opportunity to harvest an antelope on accessible public land. If applying for a license type(s) with difficult public access, hunters should recognize that hunter densities may be high on accessible public land or that antelope densities may be low. In these cases, hunters should consider securing access to private land well in advance.
