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

No. Hunt area 67 is limited-quota, drawn specifically for this area by resident and nonresident alike. Wyoming offers no general pronghorn licence over the counter and no region pronghorn licence for antelope. The draw for this area is the only way to obtain a licence to hunt pronghorn here, and if a hunter does not draw, no alternative licence exists.

Do Wyoming residents need preference points to draw hunt area 67?

No. The resident pronghorn draw is random, with no preference points involved at all. Nonresidents, by contrast, compete in a draw where three quarters of the licences go to top preference-point holders and a quarter go to a random draw open to all nonresidents in the pool. Residents simply enter the random pool.

Can a hunter access most of hunt area 67 on public land?

Roughly 90% of the area is public ground—BLM and State Trust Land totaling about 720 square miles—much of it in large blocks. However, public ownership does not guarantee easy access. Roads, trailheads, seasonal closures, and private inholdings all affect where a hunter can reach, and two-track roads can become impassable after rain or snow.

How many walk-in areas are enrolled in hunt area 67?

Six walk-in areas are currently enrolled on private parcels within the unit, including Fremont County Walk In Areas 16, 24, and 31. A hunter may walk in during a walk-in area's open period without permission, subject to posted rules. Enrollment is renegotiated annually, so availability can change season to season.

What are the hunt seasons for pronghorn in hunt area 67?

Two seasons run from mid-August through the end of October: a Type 1 (any antelope) season and a Type 6 (doe or fawn) season. Both offer archery hunting from August 15 to September 18 and rifle hunting from September 19 to October 31. A single licence applies to both windows within its season type.

Hunt area 67 is predominantly sagebrush grassland running from rolling hills in the central section to more fractured country in the south, where Beaver Rim and numerous large draws and washes cut the plateau. Elevation spans 4,800 to 7,400 feet, with typical ground around 5,600 feet; the terrain averages 3.0 degrees of slope, and 95% of it is gentle. The landscape is interspersed with ephemeral sandy washes that drain the rolling uplands. Pronghorn distribute across the entire area, though densities concentrate in the southeast and drop in the southwest.

Most of the area is public land—roughly 720 square miles of BLM and State Trust Land that typically breaks into large, accessible blocks. Six walk-in areas are enrolled on private parcels scattered through the unit. Two-track roads dominate access into the interior; wet snow or rain can render them difficult, and hunters bringing trailers may need to position them near graveled county roads if precipitation moves in. There are no reliable water sources in the unit, so a hunter planning to camp should bring all water needed. Public ownership does not guarantee easy entry—seasonal road closures, private inholdings, and trailhead conditions all apply. The region itself rates excellent for access.

Hunt area 67 offers pronghorn hunting from mid-August through October. Both seasons span an archery window from mid-August into mid-September and a rifle window stretching into the end of October, with weather and light changing substantially across those months. Archery hunters face warm early-season conditions; by rifle season, October temperatures drop sharply and light snow becomes possible toward month's end.

Licence and how this hunt area is drawn

Hunt Area 67 (Sand Draw) 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)

Archery hunting in the Type 1 (any antelope) season overlaps the pre-rut territory phase in mid to late August and the primary rut in early September, when bucks are actively pursuing and defending does across open sagebrush flats and low hills. Temperatures run warm through August, dropping into the 70s by September; no rain is normal in either month. Access across the entire area remains open, though two-track roads can be soft after rare precipitation. Hunters may legally take any antelope. The rifle window, September 19 through October 31, spans the tail end of the primary rut into late-rut recovery and the early fall grouping phase; by October, highs cool into the 50s and lows approach freezing, with about an inch of snowfall possible by month's end. Early rifle seasons coincide with cooling that can push pronghorn to shift range, though they remain distributed throughout the hunt area. A hunter may take any antelope in this season as well.

Type 6 — Doe or fawn (August–October)

The Type 6 (doe or fawn) archery season runs the same dates as Type 1 archery—August 15 through September 18—covering the pre-rut and primary rut phases when does are concentrated and most visible in sagebrush grassland and draws. Warm early-season temperatures moderate into the 70s by September, with no precipitation expected in either month. Access is open across the area, and public land blocks remain navigable. A hunter may legally take only does and fawns. The rifle portion, September 19 through October 31, occurs as the rut winds down into recovery and early fall grouping; cooling temperatures through October and occasional snowfall by month's end can shift doe and fawn movements, though they remain present throughout the unit. Only does and fawns are legal harvest in this season.

Land and access

BLM82%

Generally open to public hunting

private land10%

Private

State Trust Land7%

Generally open to public hunting

About 90% of this hunt area is ground a hunter can generally count on — BLM and State Trust Land, roughly 720 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.

This hunt area has 6 enrolled walk-in areas. That is private ground enrolled for public access, not public land. A Walk-In Area needs no permission slip — a hunter may walk in during the open period, subject to its posted rules. Enrollment is renegotiated every year, so check current status before counting on either.
