On The Ground
This unit has a lot of private land, BLM and state-run lands. Public land access can be tough. Mature mule deer and whitetails are commonly found here.For nonresidents, this area is part of Region J and tags drawn for this area are also valid in: 61, 64, 65.
The high elevations in this area have a good mule deer population with great bucks. Whitetails are not hunted a lot in this area, but the bigger bucks can usually be found near the creeks and rivers.
Terrain
There are a lot of rolling hills and creek bottoms in this unit, where most whitetails are typically seen. Rocky ridges that are covered in conifer and juniper trees are better places to find big mule deer.
Roughly 1357 square miles
13% public land
Elevations from 4,436-8,416 feet
Vegetation
Most of the unit has short prairie grass and sagebrush, but the creek bottoms have thick willows and cottonwood. The higher ridges are typically lined with conifer trees, juniper trees and small patches of aspen trees.
Access
Several private land tracts block access in the north and east of the unit. There are still a lot of tracts of public land that are not hard to find access to that can give hunters a better chance to find nice bucks.
Camping and Lodging
Most hunters will camp remotely on BLM land with no permits needed. Lodging is also found south of the unit in Laramie and Cheyenne, and north of the unit in Wheatland.
