Wyoming deer Region T
Region T is a single general-licence deer hunt area covering about 5,299 square miles, with ground from 4,000 to 6,500 feet. The terrain grades gentle. WGFD names it Southeast Wyoming.
About 10% of the region's one general hunt area is ground a hunter can generally count on. Most of a Region T hunt is therefore planned around private land — permission, an enrolled walk-in area, or the blocks of public ground that do exist. Public ownership is not the same as easy entry: roads, trailheads, seasonal closures and private inholdings all still apply.
What a Region T licence is — and is not
A Region T general licence is what a nonresident draws to hunt Wyoming’s general-licence deer areas in this part of the state. It is valid across the one hunt area listed below, each subject to its own season dates and limitations.
It is not valid in the limited-quota hunt areas that sit inside the same country. Those must be drawn for that area specifically, and no region licence reaches them — so a region licence is a fallback only when the hunt a reader wants is in a general area.
A Wyoming resident does not use a region licence at all: residents buy a general deer licence over the counter, unlimited statewide, on sale from mid-July. Residents also have no deer preference points — where a resident must draw, that draw is random. Points are a nonresident concept here, and for nonresidents three quarters of each pool is awarded by preference points and the remaining quarter at random.
A hunter may hold only ONE general deer licence in a year, so a general licence is a single choice rather than something to stack.

“Open public land” is the share of each hunt area a hunter can generally count on — BLM, National Forest, State Trust Land and State Wildlife Areas. Public ownership is not the same as easy entry: roads, trailheads, seasonal closures and private inholdings all still apply.
