Approx. % of Public Land: 60%
Access to Public Land: Fair
Access Notes: While roughly 60 percent is public land, slightly more than the southern half of this area lies in what is called the "checkerboard," where every other square mile is private. As a result, public lands in the checkerboard that do not touch a public road are generally not accessible without permission of a private land owner. Ranches in this area tend to be large, so significant blocks of the area are either unavailable or available only to outfitted clients or by trespass fee. There is good access to public land for much of the northern portion of the hunt area. View the hunt planner map for available Walk-In Areas open to antelope hunting.

Topography and Vegetation: Area 62 offers a variety of land types to hunt. Most of the southern portion is steep, arid, rocky rims and mesas covered with sagebrush and saltbush surrounding alkaline greasewood flats. Rolling sand hills covered with sagebrush and mixed with open sand dunes are found in the northern portion, rising into mountain foothills against the Ferris and Seminoe Mountains, which form the northern boundary. Riparian meadows are found along the North Platte River, the shores of Seminoe Reservoir and along several major creeks. Open sagebrush prairie is found along the western shore of Seminoe Reservoir.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Antelope densities tend to be higher in the northern and eastern portions of the hunt area because of more lush habitats, but in dry years they make heavy use of the lower alkaline habitats. Weather may vary from dry and windy with temperatures in the 70s and 80s to freezing cold with significant snowfall, even in the September portion of the hunt. Roads in portions of this hunt area become nearly impassable when wet and muddy, while roads in more sandy areas often remain drivable even with a little precipitation. Rut for pronghorn in this area typically peaks in the last week of September and the first part of October. View the hunt planner map for available Walk-In lands open to antelope hunting.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Cottontail rabbit are most abundant in desert scrub/greasewood habitats and around rock outcrops in this area. Sage-grouse can be found in much of this area with sandier, wetter soils. While uncommon, blue grouse can be found near timbered habitats of the Ferris and Seminoe Mountains. Consult the Chapter 11 Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits. Mountain lion are common in the Ferris and Seminoe Ranges and Haystack Mountains, along with a few black bear (see Chapters 42 and 3). Fishing opportunities consist primarily of Seminoe Reservoir and the Dugway stretch of the North Platte River on the eastern border of the area, as well as along the Miracle Mile portion of the North Platte nearby in Area 63. These also offer opportunity for waterfowl hunting (Chapter 14).

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.
