Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 113

Area 113 sits in southwestern Wyoming straddling Lincoln and Sublette counties — high sage desert on the edge of the Green River Basin. Roughly 394 tags were issued over the last three reporting years against 202 applicants, making this a moderate-opportunity area with solid trophy potential in the big public sage. BLM dominates the landscape, so walk-in access is strong. We focus on the sage flats between the Hams Fork and Green River drainages where buck densities and age structure both run above the state average.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Area 113

Area 113 pronghorn use the big sage basins and rolling benches between the Wyoming and Commissary ridges.

Sage Flats Between Kemmerer and La Barge

The flats north of Kemmerer and south of La Barge are core herd country. Glass from high two-track vantage points at first light — pronghorn bed in the low sage and move onto open benches to feed at dawn and dusk.

Ridge Benches Above the Hams Fork

Elevated benches on the east side of the Hams Fork drainage hold mature bucks during early archery. These benches offer thermal advantage for stalks and plenty of broken contour to close distance.

Water Sources Late Summer

In early September, pronghorn concentrate near reservoirs, windmills, and seeps. We mapped the water sources in August on satellite imagery and confirmed activity with trail cameras where allowed.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in Area 113

The big public sage makes Area 113 a spot-and-stalk dream, but the country is vast and windy — planning separates success from sore feet.

Spot-and-Stalk From Vehicle Glass Points

We drive mapped BLM two-tracks until we spot a shooter, then park well below the skyline and plan a wind-right stalk using the rolling sage benches. Wyoming sage is taller than it looks — expect the stalk route to be usable even when it looks dead-flat.

Archery in Early September

Lincoln-Sublette country runs an early archery opener. Blinds over the few reliable water sources produce high-percentage bow shots. Scout the water two weeks before season to confirm sign.

Decoy During the Rut

Late-season rut hunts let us use a silhouette decoy to pull territorial bucks into range. This is a rifle-season tactic in Area 113 — pick a buck bedded with does and work the downwind approach using a decoy as both cover and challenge.

Public Land Navigation

BLM dominates, but state and private parcels are scattered through. We run onX with the public-land and BLM-surface layers on at all times.
