Topography and Vegetation: This area is dominated by the Goshen Rim along with rolling hills, irrigated and dryland farmland, riparian areas and lands enrolled into the United States Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: View the hunt planner map for available Access Yes (Walk-In-Area (WIA) and Hunter Management Area) lands open to deer hunting along with the Department's Wildlife Habitat Management Areas (WHMA). Limited public-land hunting opportunities are primarily for mule deer in Hunt Area 15. There is very little access for public land white-tailed deer hunting. Mule deer can be found throughout the hunt area, but at very low densities on public land. The Broom Creek Habitat Management Area offers the most access for deer hunting, as well as WIAs and State of Wyoming land parcels along the Goshen Rim in the northern and western portions of the hunt area. There is limited doe/fawn hunting with a Type 6 license but access to private land is difficult. Hunters are encouraged to acquire permission prior to applying for a license. This hunt area falls within the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) endemic area. Hunters are advised to view the Department's latest information and regulations on CWD (https//wgfd.wyo.gov/Wildlife-in-Wyoming/More-Wildlife/Wildlife-Disease) prior to applying for mule deer or white-tailed deer licenses. White-tailed Deer Opportunities As mentioned above, there is limited access for white-tailed deer hunting in this hunt area. Type 3 and Type 8 licenses available for late-season hunting. The Department's WHMAs offer some public access along the North Platte River. View the hunt planner map for available WHMAs.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Sharp-tailed grouse are found throughout the hunt area, typically around CRP and cropland. Pheasants are stocked in various WIAs in Platte, Goshen and Laramie counties from the first Saturday in November to approximately the second week of December. Hunters are required to possess a daily or annual upland game license to hunt pheasants and sharp-tailed grouse as well as a pheasant management stamp to hunt pheasants in areas that are stocked by the Department. 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 WD504 (Southeast White-tailed Deer) or MD534 (Goshen Rim) Job Completion Reports for more detailed information on the management of these two deer herds.

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.
