Can a hunter draw a general pronghorn licence for this area or buy one over the counter?

No. Hunt area 110 is a limited-quota draw for residents and nonresidents alike. Wyoming has no general pronghorn licence sold over the counter and no region licence that covers any pronghorn hunt. A resident or nonresident must draw the specific area to hunt it; if the draw does not come through there is no alternative licence.

Do Wyoming residents need preference points to draw pronghorn in this hunt area?

No. The resident pronghorn draw in Wyoming is random and does not use preference points at all. Nonresidents, by contrast, enter a preference-point draw where three quarters of the licences go to the highest-point applicants and a quarter go to a random drawing from the rest of the pool, so points do matter for nonresidents.

What share of the hunt area can a hunter actually get onto?

About three-quarters of hunt area 110 is dependably open public land—National Forest, BLM, State Trust Land and State Wildlife Areas. Three Hunter Management Areas on private ground enroll seasonally and require a printed permission slip from WGFD. The remaining private land typically stays closed, though conditions and seasonal closures still apply to public ground.

What is the terrain like and how does it change with elevation?

Hunt area 110 is mostly rolling sagebrush and grassland hills cut by draws, with slope averaging 13.9 degrees across a mix of gentle, moderate and steeper ground. Higher-elevation hunting on the Shoshone National Forest above 9,000 feet brings more conifer cover and steeper terrain. Lower elevations are sagebrush-dominant and more open, suited to long-range spotting.

When do the hunting seasons run and which animals do they allow?

The area has two seasons, both running August 15 through October 14. Type 1 is any antelope (archery August 15–September 19, regular September 20–October 14) and Type 6 is doe or fawn only (same archery and regular dates). Both seasons span the pre-rut through late-rut periods, taking in the peak of the rut in September.

Hunt area 110 is rolling sagebrush and grassland country, broken up by draws and ridges, with elevations climbing from around 5,400 feet into the high mountains above 9,000 feet on the Shoshone National Forest. The landscape grades across the season: lower elevations are dominated by sagebrush with scattered grass and riparian ground, while the mid-elevation band brings conifers into the mix alongside sagebrush. Pronghorn hunting in the lower basins is foot country—open enough to spot animals across distance but with enough roll to the ground that a stalk takes patience. The higher-elevation hunting on National Forest ground is steeper and more wooded, offering a different kind of chase. Slope across the hunt area averages 13.9 degrees and breaks into roughly equal shares of gentle and moderate ground with steeper sections mixed in, so a hunter should expect varied country rather than a single terrain type.

Getting in requires picking your ground carefully. About three-quarters of the hunt area is dependably open: National Forest, BLM, State Trust Land and State Wildlife Areas make up roughly 469 square miles. Private land takes up the remainder, including scattered hay fields throughout. Three Hunter Management Areas—Absaroka Front, Rawhide and Pitchfork—enroll private ground seasonally where hunters can work with a printed permission slip from WGFD. Much of the most consistent pronghorn hunting happens on the Pitchfork HMA and the state lands around it. Access conditions are fair overall, but roads, seasonal closures on National Forest and private inholdings all mean a hunter cannot count on reaching every part of the country on every day of the season.

This hunt area contains designated wilderness where Wyoming law requires a nonresident to be accompanied by a licensed guide or a resident guide—a nonresident planning to hunt that ground needs to account for that requirement.

Licence and how this hunt area is drawn

Hunt Area 110 (South Greybull River) is limited quota. A licence for it must be drawn for this hunt area specifically, by resident and nonresident alike. Wyoming issues no general pronghorn licence and no region pronghorn licence, so there is no over-the-counter option and no regional fallback: every pronghorn hunt area in the state is drawn on its own.

Wyoming residents have no preference points for pronghorn — the resident pronghorn draw is random, and no resident point cutoff exists for any hunt area in the state. For nonresidents points matter a great deal: Wyoming awards 75% of each nonresident pool through the preference-point draw, top-down by points, and the remaining 25% at random. Nonresidents also choose between the Regular and Special pools — the same hunts at two price points, competing separately.

The wording of each hunt is the Wyoming Game & Fish Department’s and is legally exact — a “cow or calf” hunt is not a pronghorn hunt in general, and a hunt limited to part of the area is not valid across it. Confirm every hunt in the current regulations before applying.

Hunting each season

Type 1 — Any antelope (August–October)

Hunting for any antelope spans archery from August 15 through September 19 and rifle from September 20 through October 14, catching the pre-rut and primary rut in August and early September, then the tail end of the rut into mid-October. August hunting on the lower grounds finds pronghorn in their summer patterns, when temperatures are warm with highs around 73°F and the country is dry, making glassing and stalking straightforward. September brings the pre-rut and the primary rut itself—bucks are visible and vulnerable as they move to establish and defend territory, though the month cools from the low 60s into the 50s and light snow begins to dust higher elevations by late month. October's regular rifle season runs cold with highs dropping to 50°F and snowfall climbing to several inches, which can push pronghorn into different country or make tracking easier on white ground. Access to public lands holds steady through the season, though higher-elevation hunting on the National Forest may face seasonal restrictions. This hunt allows any pronghorn, making it the flexible choice across the three-month window.

Type 6 — Doe or fawn (August–October)

Doe and fawn hunting follows the same dates as the any-antelope season—archery through September 19 and rifle through October 14—and runs through the same rut phases and weather arc from warm August into cold October. Early-season hunting in August is open country work when temperatures favor glassing the rolling sagebrush hills, and pressure is light since bucks are not legal. The September rut brings does and fawns to visibility as movement increases, though hunters targeting only females often find them away from rutting males and in more predictable locations. October's cold and snow can concentrate animals but also make them harder to pattern. The Pitchfork HMA and surrounding state lands see the steadiest use for this hunt. This season is the choice for hunters wanting to take a doe or fawn or to avoid the buck competition of the any-antelope draw.

About 75% of this hunt area is ground a hunter can generally count on — National Forest, BLM, State Trust Land and State Wildlife Areas, roughly 469 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 30% 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.

It also holds 3 Hunter Management Areas. That is private ground enrolled for public access, not public land. A Hunter Management Area requires a printed permission slip from the Wyoming Game & Fish Department before hunting it. Enrollment is renegotiated every year, so check current status before counting on either.

This hunt area includes designated wilderness. Wyoming law requires a nonresident to be accompanied by a licensed guide or a resident guide in designated wilderness.
