Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Hunting in Unit S19

Bighorn Sheep Hunt Area 19, which Wyoming Game and Fish names Laramie Peak, covers about 5,494 square miles in Albany, Converse, Platte, Natrona and Carbon counties. It belongs to WGFD's Laramie Peak bighorn sheep herd unit. WGFD's 2025 harvest survey gives no bighorn sheep success figure we can tie to this area alone.

Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Bighorn Sheep Hunt Area 19

The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names bighorn sheep hunt area 19 "Laramie Peak". It runs to about 5,494 square miles, in Albany (43%), Converse (21%), Platte (18%), Natrona (10%) and Carbon (6%) counties. WGFD reports these bighorn sheep as the Laramie Peak 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 bighorn sheep live, so that part is our read of the ground, labelled as such.

The line: Iron Mountain, Fisher Canyon-Rogers Canyon and Horse Creek

WGFD's 2026 Chapter 9 walks the line around bighorn sheep hunt area 19 corner by corner. It starts at the junction of Interstate Highway 25 and Wyoming Highway 211 at the town of Chugwater. On the way round it follows Interstate Highway 25, Wyoming Highway 211, Platte County Road 10 and Laramie County Road 106, and Iron Mountain, Fisher Canyon-Rogers Canyon and Horse Creek. Read it as the legal edge of your license rather than as a hint about animals. The full text is in Section 6 of that chapter, with this year's season dates and license limitations in Section 3.

Not the same ground as the other hunt area 19s

WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 19 also belongs to its elk, deer, antelope and moose hunt areas 19. 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 bighorn sheep 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). Public Access Areas such as Deer Creek Canyon (2 acres) and Cow Creek Mountain (1 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, Warbonnet Peak and Buffalo Peak

Named high points inside bighorn sheep hunt area 19 include Laramie Peak at 10,213 feet, Warbonnet Peak at 9,373 feet, Buffalo Peak at 9,370 feet, Cherry Mountain at 9,304 feet and Roaring Mountain at 9,296 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Sheep need rock to escape into and will not stand far from it.

Holding ground: Chamberlain Pass, Reed Pass and Cameron Pass

Below them sit Chamberlain Pass at 7,880 feet, Reed Pass at 7,848 feet, Cameron Pass at 7,799 feet, Indian Flat at 7,796 feet and Breakneck Hill at 7,757 feet. Those are the basins and bottoms of the area, and they are what you glass into from above.

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.

Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Success Rates

WGFD's 2025 harvest report carries no bighorn sheep row we can read back to bighorn sheep hunt area 19 on its own, so no figure is given here — a statewide average printed under this heading would look measured and would not be. WGFD's harvest reports page has the full tables.

Wyoming Game and Fish's 2026 demand report for bighorn sheep in bighorn sheep hunt area 19, residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different license pools:

  • Type 1 (any ram), residents: 631 first-choice applicants for 2 licenses, 0.3% drawn
  • Type 1 (any ram), nonresidents: 61 first-choice applicants for 0 licenses, 0% drawn

WGFD draws full-price bighorn sheep licenses partly on preference points, for residents and nonresidents alike, highest balance first (Chapter 44, Section 19); the figures above are from its random draw. Drawing a full-price license deletes your bighorn sheep points, and after a full-price bighorn sheep license from the initial drawing you may not apply for one again. 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.
