Can a hunter draw a licence for hunt area 67 using a Wyoming general or region licence?

Hunt area 67 is a limited-quota hunt area drawn individually, and neither a general nor a region licence covers it. To hunt this area a hunter must draw a specific licence for it. Residents draw randomly for deer licences in Wyoming; nonresidents draw in a pool where three-quarters of the licences go to those with the most preference points, and a quarter go to a random draw open to all applicants.

Does a Wyoming resident need preference points to draw this hunt area?

Wyoming residents do not use preference points for deer hunts at all. The resident draw for hunt area 67 is random, with no points system involved. Any resident who draws a licence gets equal odds regardless of whether they have applied before.

Which deer species are legal on hunt area 67?

Hunt area 67 permits antlered mule deer or any white-tailed deer. The antlered restriction applies to mule deer only; any white-tailed deer of any age or sex is legal.

How much of hunt area 67 is public ground a hunter can count on?

About 2 square miles, or 9% of the hunt area, is State Trust Land and BLM that a hunter can generally depend on. Roads, trailheads, seasonal closures and private inholdings still apply, so even that ground requires checking access before the hunt.

When does hunt area 67 open for deer?

Hunt area 67 is currently closed to deer hunting. WGFD publishes the hunt calendar annually, so a hunter should check the current year's seasons before planning.

Deer region

Hunt area 67 is a 27-square-mile block of the Casper Mountain country between 5,100 and 8,200 feet, with typical ground around 7,200 feet. Most of it is gentle rolling terrain, and it breaks into three elevation bands with distinct cover. The lower slopes run to sagebrush with scattered other cover and patches of grass and riparian ground. Mid-elevation bands grow a mix of conifer forest, sagebrush and aspen, while the higher slopes turn conifer-heavy with sagebrush still present. The area slopes gently on average—68% of it is gentle ground—so foot travel is manageable across much of it, and the varied cover means deer move between elevations seasonally.

Access is the hard constraint here. Private land makes up 88% of the hunt area, leaving only about 2 square miles of State Trust Land and BLM that a hunter can generally count on. Roads, trailheads, seasonal closures and scattered private inholdings all still apply even to public ground, so entry is never straightforward. A hunter serious about this area needs to plan access carefully and expect to spend time either looking for open ground or asking permission.

Summer range covers more than half the mapped area, reflecting the wide elevation band and varied country. Winter range and crucial winter range each account for 2% of the area, a small share that reflects the generally mild winters at these elevations.

2026 season

This hunt area is CLOSED to deer hunting for 2026 by the Wyoming Game & Fish Department. There is no season and no licence to draw for it. Closures are reviewed annually, so check the current WGFD deer hunting regulation before planning around this area either way.

Generally open to public hunting

About 9% of this hunt area is ground a hunter can generally count on — State Trust Land and BLM, roughly 2 square miles. Public ownership is not the same as easy entry: roads, trailheads, seasonal closures and private inholdings all still apply.

State trust land counts toward the open figure above. Wyoming extends hunting on legally accessiblestate trust land to the public unless a parcel is specifically closed — the catch is the access itself, since crossing private ground to reach it still needs the landowner’s permission. Camping, fires and off-road vehicles are not allowed on it.

the Wyoming Game & Fish Department publishes 0% public land for this hunt area. That counts public ownership; the figure above counts ground a hunter can depend on getting onto. They answer different questions, so both are shown rather than blended.
