On The Ground

This unit is found in the central portion of the state and is home to a good population of antelope and great public access. Comprised of high desert plains, this area has a lot of BLM and state lands. It is bordered by the divide between Alkali Creek and the Sweetwater River.

This area has great public access and good numbers of antelope. Hunters who hunt here can expect a fun hunt with great odds of success.

Terrain

Most of this area is made up of open prairie with large basins, creek bottoms and rolling hills that give hunters a chance to put on a good stalk. Spot and stalk techniques will work throughout this area and sitting over water sources during periods of high temps can be very effective.

  • Roughly 522 square miles

  • 96.4% public land

  • Elevations from 6,600-8,200 feet

Hunters can find a lot of open land and high desert prairie, along with sagebrush and grasslands. Rocky bluffs, cedars and small trees are common as the elevation climbs, especially along Crooks Mountain.

There is good public access here with well-maintained roads, a network of BLM roads and smaller two track roads. Most roads here are in good condition, with a few passable only with four-wheel drive or ATVs.

Lander is the closest town to the unit, and offers several options for lodging. Groceries, gas and other stores can be found here as well. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. Hunters can camp in remote locations.
