Where to Find Mule Deer in Deer Hunt Area 64
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names deer hunt area 64 "Laramie Peak". It runs to about 2,963 square miles, in Albany (65%), Platte (24%) and Carbon (9%) counties. WGFD reports these mule deer as the Laramie Mountains herd unit, which also takes in deer hunt areas 59 and 60. What WGFD publishes for the area is its boundary and its harvest; where the mule deer stand inside it is our reading of the ground, and the two are kept apart below.
The line: Spring Creek, Bates Creek and Squaw Springs
WGFD's 2026 Chapter 6 walks the line around deer hunt area 64 corner by corner. It starts at the junction of Interstate Highway 25 and Wyoming Highway 34. On the way round it follows Interstate Highway 25, Wyoming Highway 34, U.S. Highway 30 and Wyoming Highway 487, and Spring Creek, Bates Creek, Squaw Springs and Cold Springs. Read it as the legal edge of your license rather than as a hint about animals. 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 64s
WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 64 also belongs to its elk and antelope hunt areas 64. 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 deer area, and the cards at the foot of the page link the others.
Ground WGFD opens: Tom Thorne/Beth Williams and Laramie Peak
WGFD administers 2 Wildlife Habitat Management Areas inside or across the line, including Tom Thorne/Beth Williams (2,961 acres) and Laramie Peak (37,114 acres). WGFD also lists one Walk-In Area covering about 292 acres open for deer: Albany 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. Public Access Areas such as Cow Creek Mountain (1 acres) and North Platte River-Glendo (40 acres) are public ways onto water and land; check what each allows before you count on it for hunting.
High ground inside the line: Laramie Peak, Chimney Ridge and Eagle Mountain
Named high points inside deer hunt area 64 include Laramie Peak at 10,213 feet, Chimney Ridge at 9,208 feet, Eagle Mountain at 9,129 feet, Eagle Peak at 9,129 feet and Camelback Mountain at 9,083 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: Parsons Canyon, Bridge Draw and Fortymile Flat
Below them sit Parsons Canyon at 7,740 feet, Bridge Draw at 7,688 feet, Fortymile Flat at 7,640 feet, Curry Draw at 7,636 feet and Mule Creek Pass at 7,613 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past.
Water: Antelope Springs, Mud Springs and Bellmore Spring
Named water inside the line includes Antelope Springs, Mud Springs, Bellmore Spring, Little Medicine Falls, Dead Horse Spring and Gibson Spring. Nothing in the data says which of it runs in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

How to Hunt Mule Deer in Deer Hunt Area 64
Mule Deer Success Rates
Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest report estimates 44.6% mule deer success in deer hunt area 64: 461 animals taken by 1,033 active hunters over 4,496 days of hunting, or 9.8 days per animal. By residency, residents 41.7% (292 taken by 701) and nonresidents 50.9% (169 taken by 332).
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 2 antlered (resident) | 79 | 149 | 53.0% | — |
| Rifle — General Type 2 antlered (nonresident) | 4 | 39 | 10.3% | — |
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 64, residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different license pools:
- Type 2, residents: 149 first-choice applicants for 79 licenses, 53% drawn
- Type 2, nonresidents: 39 first-choice applicants for 4 licenses, 10.3% 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.
