Frequently Asked Questions

Is there wind in Carbon County during pronghorn season?
Yes — Carbon County is one of Wyoming's windiest regions, with persistent winds common in September. Wind actually works in hunters' favor when planning stalks, as the background noise masks your approach sounds. Always move with the wind in your face toward pronghorn to prevent scent detection.
