Region B can be found in eastern Wyoming and extends west to Casper, and is a general region that is available for nonresident deer hunters. Access throughout the region is usually tough since there is a lot of private land. Small sections of state, BLM and Forest Service land is available, but public access through the private land can be challenging. Large open grasslands with small creek drainages take up the landscape. Unit 10 is in the center of the region and has the most public access in the region. Mule deer and whitetail deer are found across the region, with whitetail deer dominating some parts of the region.
Most of the terrain in Region B is very similar. The majority of the landscape has grassland with low drainages. Cattle ranches can be found throughout the region. The southern units have higher elevation that rise into low rolling hills with limited timber. The region is physically easy to navigate and does not require a hunter to be in great physical shape.
Most of the region is made up of private ranch property with a lot of hunts conducted through outfitters with leased ranches. Public land is available with Unit 10 having the most access to National Forest land. Wyoming Game and Fish has reported that access is hard throughout most of the region. The Thunder Basin National Grassland is managed by the U.S. Forest Service and is the most accessible land in the region. Unit 13 has thousands of acres of walk-in access, and some for whitetail deer hunting only.
The mule deer found in Region B will typically reach from 140-170”. Walk in areas on private ranchlands are some of the best options for finding a mature buck, aside from hunting with outfitters on exclusive properties, or getting permission to access certain private property. Glassing from long distances in high sage and open grasslands is a good method here. Archery hunting is available in September, and rifle hunting is in the first half of October. There are no mule deer rut-hunting opportunities with a Region B general license.
There are a lot of whitetail deer in Region B throughout the various units. Bucks reaching over 140” are harvested every year, with most bucks scoring 120-140” Boone and Crockett. Private property with creek bottoms and irrigated croplands can be good choices for whitetail hunting. Several of the walk in access areas in Unit 13 are exclusive to whitetail hunting only. Archery hunting is available early in the year in September. Rifle hunting opens in October and runs through November. Bucks are in the rut during the November portion of the rifle season. Scrape lines are common during this time, and rattling and grunting can be effective.
