On The Ground
Area 109, also referred to as Beckton is located in the north-central part of the state near Sheridan. Comprised of high plains desert and forest, this unit contains only small amounts of BLM and State lands. Public land hunting can be a horse in this area and most the success, and the biggest bucks, will be found on privtae lands.
This area has poor general access to the hunting public, and only an average success rate for harvest. A guided hunt is recommended for private land access.
Terrain
This area consists of gentle flat or hilly terrain, except for those portions near the west edge along the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. Antelope can be found scattered throughout the unit but the lack of public land can be a challenge for most.
