Pronghorn Hunting in Unit A34
Antelope Hunt Area 34, which Wyoming Game and Fish names Goshen Hole, covers about 2,867 square miles in Laramie, Goshen and Platte counties. It belongs to WGFD's Hawk Springs antelope herd unit.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Antelope Hunt Area 34
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names antelope hunt area 34 "Goshen Hole". It runs to about 2,867 square miles, in Laramie (45%), Goshen (41%) and Platte (15%) counties. WGFD reports these pronghorn as the Hawk Springs herd unit, and no other hunt area shares it. WGFD prints the line and counts the harvest. It doesn't say where inside the line the pronghorn live, so that part is our read of the ground, labelled as such.
The line: Laramie River and North Platte River
WGFD's 2026 Chapter 5 walks the line around antelope hunt area 34 corner by corner. It starts where Interstate Highway 25 crosses the Laramie River. On the way round it follows Interstate Highway 25 and Interstate Highway 80, and Laramie River and North Platte River. 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 34s
WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 34 also belongs to its elk, deer and moose hunt areas 34. None of them shares a county with this one. 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: Rawhide and Cottonwood Draw
WGFD administers 4 Wildlife Habitat Management Areas inside or across the line, including Rawhide (817 acres), Cottonwood Draw (700 acres) and Table Mountain (1,720 acres). Its Access Yes program enrolls 3 Hunter Management Areas here that list antelope among their species — Nimmo (22,761 acres), Peterson Draw (854 acres) and Chalk Hill (2,407 acres). WGFD also lists 44 Walk-In Areas covering about 65,886 acres open for antelope, among them Platte 36, Platte 7 and Platte 13. WGFD's 2026 regulations open Access Yes land only for the species and dates listed for each area, with each area's own rules on WGFD's site and no motorized travel unless WGFD says otherwise.
High ground inside the line: Indian Hill, Round Top and Flattop
Named high points inside antelope hunt area 34 include Indian Hill at 5,760 feet, Round Top at 5,555 feet, Flattop at 5,544 feet, Bear Mountain at 5,319 feet and Chimney Rock at 5,306 feet. None of them carries a public-land flag we trust, so settle ownership before you plan to stand on one. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.
Holding ground: Lewis Draw Number 6, Lewis Draw Number 5 and Lewis Draw Number 4
Below them sit Lewis Draw Number 6 at 5,903 feet, Lewis Draw Number 5 at 5,856 feet, Lewis Draw Number 4 at 5,847 feet, Lewis Draw Number 4 at 5,845 feet and Lewis Draw Number 3 at 5,770 feet. Those are the basins and bottoms of the area, and they are what you glass into from above.
Water: Donahue Spring, Bull Spring and Bull Pasture Spring
Named water inside the line includes Donahue Spring, Bull Spring, Bull Pasture Spring, McCompsey Spring, West Spring and Mud Spring. Nothing in the data says which of it runs in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Named features inside the unit
Glass from: Sixtysix Mountain (5,194 ft), Needle Rock (5,015 ft), Chalk Hill (4,540 ft), Horseshoe Butte (4,408 ft)
Holding ground: Lewis Draw Number 6 (5,903 ft), Lewis Draw Number 4 (5,847 ft), Klutz Canyon (4,955 ft), Nimmo Hunter Management Area, Walk-In Area Goshen 25
Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.
How to Hunt Pronghorn in Antelope Hunt Area 34
Pronghorn Success Rates
Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest report estimates 76.1% pronghorn success in antelope hunt area 34: 391 animals taken by 514 active hunters over 1,792 days of hunting, or 4.6 days per animal. By residency, residents 73.4% (282 taken by 384) and nonresidents 83.8% (109 taken by 130).
These are WGFD's own estimates from its hunter survey, for this hunt area and season only — not a statewide average. One season isn't a trend, so check the current report before you read one into it.
Pronghorn Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle — General Type 1 either sex (resident) | 445 | 735 | 60.5% | — |
| Rifle — General Type 1 either sex (nonresident) | 17 | 217 | 7.8% | — |
Data from 2026 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.
Open in Draw Odds EngineWyoming Game and Fish's 2026 demand report for pronghorn in antelope hunt area 34, residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different license pools:
- Type 1 (any antelope), residents: 735 first-choice applicants for 445 licenses, 60.5% drawn
- Type 1 (any antelope), nonresidents: 217 first-choice applicants for 17 licenses, 7.8% drawn
Wyoming residents draw pronghorn licenses without preference points; nonresidents draw part of their quota on points, highest balance first (Chapter 44, Section 19), and the nonresident figures above are from WGFD's random draw. WGFD publishes no preference-point level at which a hunt draws, so none is given here. Every figure was checked against WGFD's demand-report PDFs on 2026-08-10.
