Topography and Vegetation: This area is made up of a mix of mostly sagebrush flats and draws and rolling sagebrush covered hills. The Green River runs through the hunt area and provides riparian habitats with cottonwood and willow. These habitats are not frequently used by pronghorn, but adjacent areas near water are.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Pronghorn are widely distributed throughout the hunt area, but at very low densities. This hunt area receives limited precipitation, and has limited areas of live water, which influences plant growth and pronghorn distribution. Much of the area is winter range for pronghorn that summer in the hunt areas to the north and don’t typically move into the hunt area until the end of or after hunting season. The area west of Farson and Eden, and the associated agricultural fields, have some of the higher densities of pronghorn in the hunt area. The alfalfa fields around Farson and Eden also tend to have the highest buck to doe ratios in the hunt area. Throughout the rest of the hunt area, pronghorn are widely distributed with many areas lacking pronghorn entirely. Many of the roads in the hunt area can become difficult to travel on when wet and muddy due to the amount of clay in the soil in the area.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Sage-grouse can be found in many of the same habitats and areas inhabited by pronghorn and waterfowl can be found along the Big Sandy and Green Rivers. Cottontails can also be found in the hunt area. Consult the Chapter 11 Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation and Chapter 14 Migratory Bird Hunting Seasons for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits.
Herd Unit Job Completion Report: See the PR401 (Sublette) Job Completion Report for more detailed information on the management of this 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.
