Where to Find Mule Deer in Deer Hunt Area 110
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names deer hunt area 110 "Grinnell". It runs to about 392 square miles, entirely in Park County. WGFD reports these mule deer as the Upper Shoshone herd unit, which also takes in deer hunt areas 111, 112, 113, 114, 115 and 148. 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: North Fork, Shoshone River and Clearwater Creek
WGFD's 2026 Chapter 6 defines deer hunt area 110 as all of the north and west drainage of the North Fork of the Shoshone River down to and including the drainage of Clearwater Creek; all of the south drainage of the North Fork of the Shoshone River down to the drainage of Elk Fork Creek. It is the description your license is good inside, so it is worth reading once in full before you go. The full text is in Section 7 of that chapter, with this year's season dates and license limitations in Section 2.
Not the same ground as the other hunt area 110s
WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 110 also belongs to its elk and antelope hunt areas 110. Only the antelope 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 deer area, and the cards at the foot of the page link the others.
Wilderness inside the line: North Absaroka Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness
About 47% of deer hunt area 110 lies in the North Absaroka Wilderness and 36% of deer hunt area 110 lies in the Washakie Wilderness. WGFD's 2026 regulations print the rule that matters there: no nonresident may hunt big game in a designated wilderness area unless accompanied by a licensed professional guide or a resident guide, with at least one guide for every two nonresident hunters. Inside the wilderness there are no roads, so every animal there comes out on your back or on a horse.
High ground inside the line: Sunlight Peak, Nipple Mesa and Sleeping Giant Mountain
Named high points inside deer hunt area 110 include Sunlight Peak at 11,909 feet, Nipple Mesa at 11,416 feet, Sleeping Giant Mountain at 11,170 feet, Coxcomb Mountain at 11,104 feet and Howell Mountain at 10,967 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Mule deer bed on broken ground with a view and feed on the brush below it.
Holding ground: Fishhawk Meadows, Eagle Creek Meadows and Sam Berry Meadow
Below them sit Fishhawk Meadows at 7,625 feet, Eagle Creek Meadows at 7,476 feet, Sam Berry Meadow at 6,842 feet, Glacier Basin at 10,169 feet and Hughes Basin at 10,060 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past.
Water: Newton Spring
Named water inside the line includes Newton Spring. 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 deer hunt area 110 runs from 6,353 feet to 11,909 feet — more than 4,000 feet between the named features alone, so the season you draw decides which part of it you hunt.

Mule Deer Success Rates
Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest report estimates 36.6% mule deer success in deer hunt area 110: 200 animals taken by 546 active hunters over 2,173 days of hunting, or 10.9 days per animal. By residency, residents 31.9% (137 taken by 429) and nonresidents 53.8% (63 taken by 117).
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.
Mule Deer Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Rifle — General Type 1 antlered (nonresident) | 0 | 18 | 0.0% | — |
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 mule deer in deer hunt area 110, residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different license pools:
- Type 1, residents: 318 first-choice applicants for 20 licenses, 6.3% drawn
- Type 1, nonresidents: 18 first-choice applicants for 0 licenses, 0% drawn
Wyoming residents draw mule deer 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.
