Unit A101 (Yellow Point)

The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names antelope hunt area 101 "Yellow Point". It runs to about 1,361 square miles, in Sublette (49%), Sweetwater (45%) and Lincoln (6%) counties. WGFD reports these pronghorn as the Sublette herd unit, which also takes in antelope hunt areas 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 and 92 and 3 more. The boundary and the harvest figures are WGFD's. The read of the country inside them is ours, and it says so where it starts.

The line: Green River, New Fork River and Boulder Creek

WGFD's 2026 Chapter 5 walks the line around antelope hunt area 101 corner by corner. It starts where the Green River crosses Wyoming Highway 28. On the way round it follows Wyoming Highway 28, Wyoming Highway 351 and U.S. Highway 191, and Green River, New Fork River and Boulder Creek. That is a legal description, not a habitat map, and it is the text a warden reads you against. The full text is in Section 5 of that chapter, with this year's season dates and license limitations in Section 2.

Not the same ground as the other hunt area 101s

WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 101 also belongs to its deer hunt area 101. Their lines overlap this area in places and depart from it in others. A license is good only in the hunt area of its own species, so this page is about the antelope area, and the cards at the foot of the page link the others.

Ground WGFD opens: Public Access Areas

Public Access Areas such as New Fork River-Remmick (9 acres) are public ways onto water and land; check what each allows before you count on it for hunting.

High ground inside the line: Ross Butte, Ross Ridge and Blue Rim

Named high points inside antelope hunt area 101 include Ross Butte at 7,479 feet, Ross Ridge at 7,425 feet, Blue Rim at 7,351 feet, Gobblers Knob at 7,342 feet and Stud Horse Butte at 7,318 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.

Holding ground: East Buckhorn Draw, West Buckhorn Draw and Jonah Gulch

Below them sit East Buckhorn Draw at 6,716 feet, West Buckhorn Draw at 6,714 feet, Jonah Gulch at 6,699 feet, Reardon Draw at 6,681 feet and Sublettes Flat at 6,670 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past.

Water: North Sublette Meadow Spring, Sublette Well Number 5 and Oasis Well

Named water inside the line includes North Sublette Meadow Spring, Sublette Well Number 5, Oasis Well, Sublette Well Number 4, Horn Canyon Well and Monument Butte Well. Nothing in the data says which of it runs in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Reading the land status

Named ground inside antelope hunt area 101 runs from 6,279 feet to 7,479 feet. Those are the heights of the features GNIS names, which bound the range from inside rather than measure it.

Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest survey estimates 29 hunters took 29 pronghorn in antelope hunt area 101 — 100% success, at about 4.7 days of hunting for every animal taken. Residents ran 100% and nonresidents 100% that year. Most hunters who held a license here filled it, so the real question is the draw, not the hunting. The plan: spot from a vehicle or a rise at distance, then plan a stalk that uses the only cover there is — the curve of the ground.

License types WGFD reported in antelope hunt area 101 for 2025

WGFD's 2025 survey breaks the pronghorn harvest in antelope hunt area 101 down by license type.

• Type 1 — 29 licenses in use, 100% success, 4.7 days per animal

What each type allows — antlered, antlerless, archery-only, where it is valid — and this year's dates are set area by area in Section 2 of WGFD's 2026 Chapter 5, so read the line for the license you hold rather than assume it matches another area's.

Glassing from Sugar Loaf, Castle Rock and Red Hill

Take a position on one of Sugar Loaf (7,187 ft), Castle Rock (7,152 ft), Red Hill (7,152 ft) and The Spur (7,125 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. Early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

Reading the Sublette herd, not just the area

WGFD's harvest report also tabulates pronghorn by herd unit, and antelope hunt area 101 shares the Sublette herd unit with antelope hunt areas 85, 86, 87, 88, 89 and 90 and 5 more. The animals cross those lines without noticing them, so a neighbouring area in the same herd is the fairest comparison for a season here.

The way in: Wyoming Highway 28, Wyoming Highway 351 and U.S. Highway 191

We hold no road inventory for antelope hunt area 101, so the only routes we can name are the ones WGFD draws its boundary with: Wyoming Highway 28, Wyoming Highway 351 and U.S. Highway 191. Those are its edges, not its interior — where you leave the pavement, not what the inside is like. Park on the boundary and walk; country you can only reach from its rim rewards whoever leaves the truck there.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Ross Butte, Ross Ridge and Blue Rim as places to see from, and Sand Draw, Long Draw and Sand Springs Draw as ground to work. Each pin is a named feature or a WGFD access property placed inside the area line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

What a day here costs you

1,361 square miles is more country than a season will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the area. WGFD's figure of 4.7 days of hunting per animal is the one to budget against. Decide the night before where you will be at first light, and go there in the dark.
