Access Notes: This hunt area is predominantly private land but also includes the southern portion of the Thunder Basin Grasslands (USFS). Hunters should be aware that there is a large contiguous parcel of USFS land in this hunt area that is not publicly accessible, however, portions of the USFS land further north are accessible. Public lands in this area may only be hunted with a Type 1 license as the Type 2 and 7 licenses are valid for private land only. Private land permission for license Types 2, 7 should be secured prior to applying for this license. The online Converse County Mapserver may be used to help hunters search for landowner information. A GPS or smart phone application with mapping program and landownership delineations is highly recommended for public land hunters.

Topography and Vegetation: In this area, antelope occupy rolling hills and plains dominated by sagebrush grasslands, as well as agricultural fields in the southern portion of the hunt area.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Hunters are strongly encouraged to secure permission to hunt private lands and to research the appropriate license type before applying to hunt this area. This area is not managed for trophy antelope but rather for recreational hunting, and hunter success is typically good. There is substantial energy industry development in portions of this area which may result in uneven antelope distribution and busy public roads, as well as the construction of maintained roads on private land which are not open to the public.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Private lands in this area provide fall turkey hunting opportunities although access to hunt private lands is often difficult. Cottontail rabbits are typically abundant in this area. Consult the Chapter 11 (Upland Game Bird and Small Game) and Chapter 20 (Wild Turkey) hunting regulations for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits.
Herd Unit Job Completion Report: See the PR750 (Black Thunder) Job Completion Report for more detailed information on the management of this antelope (pronghorn) herd.

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.
