On The Ground
Area 38 is located in southeastern Wyoming and northwest of Cheyenne. Good numbers of antelope are found here but public land is scattered and hunting pressure can become very heavy in some areas. Some of the best bucks, and the highest odds for success, will be found on private lands but public land hunters who work hard can still find opportunities.
This area is comprised of a majority of private land, mixed with small amounts of BLM, Forest Service, and State Lands. There are a few Walk in Access and Hunter Management Areas that could provide additional access options for public land hunters.
Terrain
Consisting of long deep canyons, sage brush flats and prairie grass. A few small mountain ranges provide vantage points for glassing and finding antelope herds. Spot and stalk techniques will work well throughout the area and sitting over water sources during high temps can be great.
Roughly 2370 square smiles
19% public land
Elevations from 4,900-8,725
Vegetation
The majority of the area is dominated by sage brush, bitterbrush, juniper, pinyon and prairie grass. Higher in the mountains there will be a few conifers. Ranch land takes up a lot of this unit, with good access to Hunter Management Areas, walk in areas and public lands.
Access
Most of this unit is private land with a few ranch lands with public access. Public lands are scattered and hunters should be prepared to travel throughout the unit in search of antelope in legal areas.
Camping and Lodging
Some hunters will camp remotely on the BLM land on the unit with permits in designated areas required. Lodging at multiple motels can be located just south of the Unit in Laramie, Cheyenne and north of the unit in Wheatland.
