On The Ground

Hunters can find this unit in the Lander region, in the middle of the state. This area is a great place for antelope hunters looking to get away from the crowds and hunt away from the roads. Hunters have a good chance of harvesting an above-average buck here and this is truly a unit where hard work can really pay off.

This area is surrounded by some of Wyoming's best antelope areas in the state. In the past, this area has produced some great bucks.

Terrain

There are a lot of rolling hills, ravines and drainages here that give antelope a lot of places to find cover. Hunters can find big boulder fields and be able to find good areas of elevation to glass from. The Sweetwater River runs through part of the unit.

  • Roughly 485 square miles

  • 89.7% public land

  • Elevations from 6,400-7,100 feet

Grass and sage are the main types of vegetation here, and take up most of the land. Some juniper and pinyon pine trees can also be found throughout the unit.

This area has limited access and roads can get messy in bad weather, so hunters should bring four-wheel drive vehicles, ATVs or side-by-side vehicles to help get through the unit. Highway 287 runs through the middle of the unit that can give hunters access to a small number of two track roads.

There are no close lodging options for hunters, the closest town is Lander and is roughly 35 miles away. If hunters choose to camp, finding places out of the sun and dust in the unit can be difficult.
