Wilderness

Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.

Hunters will find themselves in the open land of high desert prairie where it is typical to be among sagebrush or grasslands. Rocky bluffs, sagebrush, cedars and forest are to be expected as the elevation climbs.

Public Access in this unit is good. It contains several well maintained roads, a network of BLM and Forest roads and smaller 2-tracks. Many roads are well maintained, with a few passable only with 4-wheel drive or ATVs.

Rawlins, located just north of the unit, is the closest town of any size, and offers many options for lodging. Groceries, gas, and other amenities can be found here as well. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. You may camp in remote locations.
