Topography and Vegetation: This topographically diverse hunt area contains the headwaters of the Green River and is bordered on the north by the Gros Ventre range (aka Sawtooths) and on the east by the Wind River range. The western border is Highway 191 on the north and the East Green River road going south. The highest elevations are dominated by rock and alpine habitats, leading down to mostly coniferous forests, followed lower by aspen forests, then rolling sagebrush foothills and mostly private agricultural grasslands near the major drainages in the bottom of the Valley. Pronghorn are well distributed throughout this hunt area, occupying the sagebrush habitats on national forest service lands in the north, the sagebrush foothills of the Winds on the east, the private agricultural lands along the Green and New Fork Rivers and drainages, all the way to the sagebrush flats of the Mesa in the southern portion of the area.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Consult the interactive hunt map planner for public lands available for hunting. Pronghorn generally move from north to south in this hunt area during seasonal fall migrations to winter ranges in the south of the area and beyond. Occasionally, significant snowstorms in October can stimulate early migrations, potentially affecting availability of pronghorn in the hunt area. The Mesa in the southern portion of the unit has and continues to experience heavy industrial energy development anticipate lots of activity and structures in this region.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Deer, elk and moose are common on the U.S. Forest Service lands in the northern and eastern portions of this hunt area. Consult the deer, elk and moose regulations for hunt areas, license requirements and season dates. Dusky and ruffed grouse are locally abundant in forested regions in the area, and sage grouse are frequented in the sagebrush lowlands throughout the area. Consult the Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits. Trophy game animals (mountain lions, wolves, and black bear) can be found in portions of this hunt area. Consult mountain lion, wolf, and black bear regulations for hunt areas, license requirements and season dates.
Herd Unit Job Completion Report: See the PR401 (Sublette) Job Completion Report for more detailed information on the management of this pronghorn herd.

Wyoming state law requires nonresidents to hunt with a resident guide in designated wilderness areas. This does not mean the entire Hunt Area, only within the boundaries of the wilderness area.

 

The resident guide does not have to be a professional; a Wyoming resident who holds a big game or trophy game hunting license is able to obtain a Resident Guide License to guide two nonresident hunters a year in wilderness areas. Resident guides simply need to register at any Game and Fish office.

 

Percentage of this Hunt Area with Designated Wilderness: 37.56%

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.
