On The Ground
Located in the Pinedale region, Area 141 is a limited quota deer unit near the head of the Green River drainage. This area has good numbers of mule deer and a few whitetail deer, with weather sometimes pushing the mature bucks to lower elevations from the Wind River Range. If weather is received, hunters can find good bucks in the low benches and sagebrush draws here. Whitetails can mainly be found on private land and along major river corridors.
Mule deer hunting can be good in this area if the weather hits before or during the season. Smaller deer and some bigger bucks will start to move into the area around the middle of October, but this unit is typically best later in the month with snow in the higher elevations.
Terrain
This area has a lot of rolling hills, ravines and drainages giving mule deer a lot of places to find cover in the north and east parts of the unit. Some river bottom terrain can be found on the north side of the unit, with better whitetail habitat. The south and east end of the unit is has higher elevations in the Bridger Wilderness with very steep and rocky terrain.

Wilderness
Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.
37.3% Wilderness
Vegetation
Most of the unit has typical Wyoming vegetation. Grass and sagebrush is the main vegetation that can be found on the north and east end, giving mule deer good winter range. The south and east parts of the unit will have more conifers and meadows in the higher elevations and pinyon and juniper with grass and sagebrush in the foothills that is more typical summer range for mule deer. Most of the Bridger Wilderness doesn’t have a lot of vegetation with rock and shale covering the terrain.
Access
The Green River Lakes Road gives a lot of good access to this area. The Bridger Wilderness has several hiking trails that also have good access to the wilderness. There is not a lot of private property here, so access is very good.
Camping and Lodging
Accommodations can be found in Pinedale and Boulder. There are a few developed campgrounds found in this area with camping found throughout the unit on public land.
