Area 71, also referred to as East Poison Spider, is located in the central part of the state west of Casper. Comprised of high plains desert, this unit contains mostly private land with a few large tracts of public land. Some of the best hunting opportunities, and success rates, will be found on private lands but public land hunters will still find some great options if they are willing to put in the work.

This area is covered by mostly private land, however public land can be found in larger tracts. This area has high success rate for harvest. Trophy potential is fair, but the Pine Mountain area accounts for some of the larger bucks.
