Where to Find Pronghorn in Antelope Hunt Area 89
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names antelope hunt area 89 "Piney". It runs to about 976 square miles, in Sublette (93%) and Lincoln (7%) counties. WGFD reports these pronghorn as the Sublette herd unit, which also takes in antelope hunt areas 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92 and 93 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: LaBarge Creek, Green River and Greys River
WGFD's 2026 Chapter 5 walks the line around antelope hunt area 89 corner by corner. It starts where LaBarge Creek enters the Green River. On the way round it follows LaBarge Creek, Green River, Greys River and South Fork. Read it as the legal edge of your license rather than as a hint about animals. 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 89s
WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 89 also belongs to its elk and deer hunt areas 89. Only the elk area 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.
High ground inside the line: Fish Creek Mountain, Bare Mountain and Mount Darby
Named high points inside antelope hunt area 89 include Fish Creek Mountain at 10,803 feet, Bare Mountain at 10,719 feet, Mount Darby at 10,644 feet, Coal Mine Mountain at 10,330 feet and Bald Knoll at 10,315 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn stay on the open rolling ground and leave the timber alone.
Holding ground: Long Hollow, Burney Canyon and Snyder Basin
Below them sit Long Hollow at 8,366 feet, Burney Canyon at 8,308 feet, Snyder Basin at 8,116 feet, Meridonal Valley at 8,031 feet and Deer Gulch at 7,936 feet. That is the low ground — where animals drop when they are pushed or when the weather turns.
Water: Wohelo Falls and Lewis Falls
Named water inside the line includes Wohelo Falls and Lewis Falls. 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 89 runs from 6,614 feet to 10,803 feet — more than 4,000 feet between the named features alone, so the season you draw decides which part of it you hunt.

Antelope Success Rates
Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest report estimates 91.9% pronghorn success in antelope hunt area 89: 34 animals taken by 37 active hunters over 125 days of hunting, or 3.7 days per animal. By residency, residents 93.1% (27 taken by 29) and nonresidents 87.5% (7 taken by 8).
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.

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 89, residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different license pools:
- Type 1 (any antelope), residents: 311 first-choice applicants for 26 licenses, 8.4% drawn
- Type 2 (any antelope), residents: 81 first-choice applicants for 20 licenses, 24.7% drawn
- Type 1 (any antelope), nonresidents: 65 first-choice applicants for 0 licenses, 0% drawn
- Type 2 (any antelope), nonresidents: 36 first-choice applicants for 0 licenses, 0% 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.
