On The Ground

Area 107, also referred to as Upper Sweetwater is located in the central part of the state and just south of Lander. Comprised of high plains desert and forest, this unit contains expansive amounts of National Forest, BLM and State lands. Good numbers of antelope can be found here along with exceptional amounts of public land to hunt them.

This is a very scenic area with a variety of habitat. It has good general access. It is a tough unit to draw a tag, but the trophy potential is high.

Terrain

This area consists of a variety of terrain, from grassy plains with sagebrush, the Sweetwater River bottom, up to alpine elevations. Most of the habitable antelope population will be found in the southern half of the area. In these locations, physically covering ground will be fairly easy and glassing opportunities will be pletiful.

  • Roughly 305 square miles

  • 90.3% public land

  • Elevations from 7,200-10,400 feet

Wilderness

Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.

  • 2.5% Wilderness

This area is covered by high desert prairie with sagebrush and grasslands. Willow bottoms, aspen trees and conifers are to be expected as the elevation climbs into the National Forest.

Public access in this unit is excellent. Most of the land is public and there are plenty of access roads. Many roads are well maintained, with a few passable only with four-wheel drive or ATVs.

Lander is the closest town of any size, and offers many options for lodging. Groceries, gas, and other amenities can be found here as well. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location.
