823Square Miles

40%Public Land

4,600 - 10,200Elevation Range

This unit is found in north central Wyoming along the southern end of the Bighorn Mountains. Great amounts of public land are found here but most of these areas are mountainous, timbered, and will not hold much for antelope numbers. Private lands will dominate much of the huntable antelope terrain in the unit and what is public will typically see heavy hunting pressure.

Antelope populations in the Sheridan Region are at high levels, so most areas are designed to give hunters a lot of opportunities. The lack of public land opportunities can be a large hurdle for most hunters, though.
