On The Ground
This area can be found on the south border of the state, southwest of Laramie. Mainly made up of high plains desert, a few mountains and some riparian river bottoms, this area contains some BLM and state land. It is bordered by U.S. Highway 287 on the east, the Colorado state line on the south and Wyoming Highway 230 to the west and north. Public lands are limited enough that hunters can struggle to find success at times but hard work can lead to a punched tag.
This hunt area has decent general access to public land, and high success rates. Hunters can sometimes have a better chance of success hiring a guide to access private land. Land near the Laramie River has the most antelope. Monolith Ranch and Spiegelberg Habitat Management Areas could have more access.
Terrain
Most of this area is a typical prairie expanse with rolling fields of grass and sage cut by scattered creek beds and the Laramie River to the north. Antelope are scattered throughout the unit but the northern half near the Laramie Rivers tends to hold the highest concentrations.
