Approx. % of Public Land: 73%
Access to Public Land: Good
Access Notes: The northern 1/4 of the hunt area is primarily US Forest Service land. The southern 3/4 of this area is primarily BLM land with scattered private parcels. Hunters need to be aware that landowner permission is required to cross all private lands, even if there is public land in the area. It should be noted that although the hunt area is comprised of ~73% public lands, that area actually occupied by this species has a much higher percentage of private lands, particularly along the eastern border (Hams Fork River) and in the Smith&amprsquos Fork drainage northeast of Cokeville.

Topography and Vegetation: The south end of the area is comprised of sagebrush flats, low broken hills and plains. As you move north the terrain changes to high timbered ridges and large mountains. There are very few antelope in those higher habitats. There is ample private irrigated land along the Smiths fork and Bear Rivers.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: Antelope density and overall numbers in this hunt area are lower than most areas in Wyoming. This is done intentionally through management to reduce browse competition with Wyoming Range mule deer. Thousands of Wyoming Range mule deer migrate into this area to winter on shrub habitats. There is ample suitable antelope habitat in this area but intentionally low densities of animals. Hunters are encouraged to consider hunting later in the season to better distribute hunting pressure, but hunters should be aware that most antelope migrate out of this area to lower altitude winter ranges. Antelope are more common in the low flats in the hunt area. Most roads in this hunt area become nearly impassable when wet and muddy.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Sage grouse are present and can be abundant in this area, as are mountain grouse, snowshoe hares and cottontails. Hunters are required to possess a daily or annual small game license to hunt these species. Consult the Chapter 11 Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits.

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.
