Topography and Vegetation: Much of this unit is composed of semi-arid sage brush plains. The southern and western edges of this area have badlands characterized by broken terrain with sporadic juniper, mountain mahogany, sage brush, and saltbush. Water can be very scarce, although with clay type soils, exposed moisture can be present across much of the Hunt Area after recent rain/snow. Vegetation and forage for deer is significantly limited to folds and aspects of terrain which hold moisture from infrequent rainfall or snow melt.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: View the hunt planner map for available Access Yes (Walk-In-Areas and Hunter Management Areas) lands open to a limited number of deer hunters in the northern periphery of the hunt area. Finding mule deer in area 100 is very difficult and is largely predicated on resource availability. Deer hunters in area 100 should be looking for water, cover, and browse forage. Water from perennial springs located in places like the Sand and Willow Creek watersheds area utilized by deer through the growing season and subsequently into the hunting season. Cover in these desert ecosystems is typically marginal and limited to boulders, tall sage brush, or gullies deep enough to conceal a deer. Hunters often have success locating deer in the afternoon when the aspect of the sun has changed the direction and location of shaded areas, forcing deer to get out of their beds and reposition. Forage availability is also marginal where deer browse in the summer and fall months seems to primarily consist of gardners saltbush, mountain mahogany, and sage brush, though deer have been observed consuming greasewood and rabbit brush. Hunters should enter this unit with reasonable expectations of seeing very low numbers of mule deer, however the vast amount of remote habitat and low harvest rates help to allow a handful of bucks reach trophy size potential. White-tailed Deer Opportunities: There are relatively few white-tailed deer in Hunt Area 100 and most are isolated to riparian habitat along the Little Snake River, where private land abounds and access for the general public is extremely limited. Most of the white-tailed deer harvest occurs later than the general deer season, during the 82 type 8 white tailed deer, doe/fawn only season.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Cottontail rabbit are typically abundant in this area. Sage-grouse can be found in much of this area, although densities are relatively low. Consult the Chapter 11 Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits.
Herd Unit Job Completion Report: See the MD427 (BAGGS) Job Completion Report for more detailed information on the management of this mule deer 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.

About Deer Hunting in Wyoming

Limited Quota Deer Licenses

There are two categories of deer hunt areas in Wyoming: limited quota and general. Limited quota deer hunt areas have a set number of licenses valid for that specific hunt area. These areas have full-price "any" or "antlered" deer licenses (Type 0, 1, 2 or 9). Type 3 licenses are only valid for (any) white-tailed deer, and do NOT permit mule deer harvest. Many hunt areas also provide reduced-price limited quota "doe/fawn" licenses (Type 6, 7 or 8). Type 6 and 7 licenses permit the take of doe or fawn mule deer or white-tailed deer. Type 8 licenses are only valid for doe or fawn white-tailed deer.

General Deer Licenses

General deer licenses are full-price licenses that are unlimited in the number of licenses issued statewide and are available for purchase "over-the-counter" for Wyoming residents. Hunters may apply for or purchase a maximum of one general deer license per year. General deer licenses may be used in any hunt area open to general license hunting and are subject to the season dates and limitations for that hunt area as set forth in the Chapter 6 Deer Hunting Season Regulation. 

 

Nonresident deer hunters wishing to hunt a general area must obtain a Region General License specific to a select region. Region General Licenses allow a nonresident to hunt deer in any hunt area within that region that is open to general license hunting and are subject to the season dates and limitations for that hunt area as set forth in the Chapter 6 Deer Hunting Season Regulation. For example, nonresident Region B Licenses are valid in Deer Hunt Areas 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 21, which are open to general license hunting. However, Region B licenses are NOT valid in Deer Hunt Areas 10 and 22 (although these two hunt areas fall within Region B) as these hunt areas are limited quota. Many general license deer hunt areas also have additional limited quota full-price and/or reduced-price licenses available.

Location

In the table of tentative deer 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 a deer 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 deer densities may be low. In these cases, hunters should consider securing access to private land well in advance.
