On The Ground
Area 90 is a great place for antelope hunters looking for a great hunt and for the possibility of an above average antelope buck.
This area is considered to be an above average unit for antelope hunting. This unit in the past has produced some great bucks. Recent drought conditions in the unit have hurt horn and population growth. Populations in the Pinedale region are slightly below objectives. Good numbers of antelope.
Terrain
Area 90 consists of rolling hills, ravines and drainages giving antelope lots of places to hide and seek cover. Part of this unit is high elevation and holds very few antelope. Hunters will find numerous roads to travel and will be able to find areas with water and plenty of antelope to pursue. This unit has diverse terrain throughout and hunters will find terrain that varies from very flat to areas of rolling hills and drainages.
