Wyoming Hunting Guide — Pronghorn

Densities are lower than premier units but the country is vast, public, and holds very mature bucks for patient hunters. The rugged terrain self-selects for serious pronghorn hunters looking for quality over quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Area 114 worth hunting given lower success?
For trophy-oriented hunters, absolutely. The unit consistently produces mature 15+ inch bucks. If you want a fast meat hunt, pick an easier unit. If you want big horn mass and age, Area 114 delivers.
Can I combine with Flaming Gorge fishing?
Yes — Flaming Gorge Reservoir forms the southern boundary and is a world-class fishery. Many hunters stack a half-day of trout fishing onto their hunt.
How rough are the badlands?
Rough. Expect broken rock country, steep draws, and loose footing. Good boots and trekking poles help. Trucks should have good tires and a high-clearance stance.
