Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 067

Where to Find Pronghorn in Area 067

Pronghorn in Hunt Area 067 follow typical Wyoming seasonal patterns tied to elevation, forage, and cover. Focus on public-land benches, sage-grass transitions, and timbered drainages early in the season, then shift to wintering range as snow deepens and animals concentrate on lower ground.

Confirm current hunt-area boundaries, access easements, and land ownership using the WGFD Hunt Planner and the agency's access-map layers before scouting trips.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in Area 067

Glassing from high vantage points at dawn and dusk is the most efficient tactic. Use quality optics to locate animals on shaded slopes or feeding openings before planning a stalk, and still-hunt brushy draws during mid-day.

Verify public-land boundaries carefully — Wyoming's checkerboard private/public pattern is common, and corner-crossing remains legally contested. Use onX or the WGFD access map to confirm every parcel before crossing.

Elk Hunting in Unit 067

Area 67 covers the Thunder Basin National Grassland region of eastern Wyoming, where sage-grassland mingles with ponderosa pine buttes and breaks country along the Cheyenne River drainages. The area has become one of the most consistent tag-for-opportunity elk hunts in the state — over the last three seasons we've seen 1,531 applicants chase 1,351 tags, meaning nearly everyone who applies hunts. Bulls here don't reach the size of the western Wyoming mountain areas, but the mix of public grassland, coal-company walk-in access, and cooperative ranch programs gives rifle hunters a legitimate any-weapon chance at a 260-290 class bull.

Where to Find Elk in Area 67

Elk in Area 67 use a surprisingly small footprint of the huge hunt area, concentrating on the pine-ridge islands and reclaimed mine lands that break up the grassland.

Pine Ridge Concentrations

Focus on the Rochelle Hills and the scattered ponderosa-pine buttes north of the Cheyenne River. Elk bed on timbered north faces and feed on the grassland benches at first and last light. Reclaimed coal-mine grasslands south of Wright hold surprising numbers of cow-calf herds.

Riparian Corridors

The cottonwood draws along the Cheyenne, Belle Fourche, and Little Powder drainages funnel elk between bedding timber and feeding areas. Glass the draw heads in the last hour of daylight.

How to Hunt Elk in Area 67

This is spot-and-stalk country with a rifle — not classic mountain elk hunting. We plan hunts around glassing vantage points and the reality that shots inside 250 yards are the exception.

Glass from Rim Country

Park on a high rim at first light and spend two or three hours behind a spotting scope before committing to a stalk. Elk here move from timber into open grassland early and back before the sun gets high. Cover multiple drainages from one vantage rather than hiking blind through cover.

Work Private-Public Boundaries

Pull up the WGFD walk-in area maps and target Hunter Management Areas and walk-in parcels along the private-public interface. Elk shuttle between ranch hay fields and grassland BLM — catching them on the BLM side requires being in position before legal light.

Access Planning

Bring an onX subscription and plan routes that stay on deeded easements and county roads. Some two-tracks on the grassland are crossing private; a single wrong turn can cost you the day. Scout access at least a half-day before the opener.

Rifle success trends in the 35-45% range thanks to the open terrain and the rifle-friendly shot distances. Archery success is much lower — the grassland gives elk a long head start on any stalk.

Season dates are set annually by the WGFD Commission and vary by license type. Refer to the current year's regulation brochure on the WGFD website for exact opening and closing dates before applying.
