Hunting Information
The Bearlodge Ranger District is home to numerous whitetail and mule deer.
Over the last seven or eight years, the District has partnered with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department
to increase the average age of bucks and to increase buck/doe
ratios. Over this time the District Ranger has placed 25% to 35% of the District in
non-motorized areas. These areas are very attractive to hunters seeking solitude. They afford deer a better chance
to escape, but they also afford a better chance at a larger buck. Expect to use more stalking skills.
Successful hunters often take bucks with 4-5 points to a side in non-motorized areas. However, very large,
heavy racks are not common. The remainder of the District is also good hunting, especially if one is willing
to walk some distrances from an open road or ATV trail.
The Bearlodge Ranger District provides excellent spring, summer, and fall turkey habitats. The District
features numerous bur oak bottoms and grassy openings. A newly implemented Forest Plan and more
intensive grazing management is improving poult rearing and wintering habitat. You will find a variety
of motorized and non-motorized hunting opportunities.
Although the population has been low, brood counts average seven poults per hen. If there is
good winter survival, the spring season will offer much better opportunity to find a gobbler. However,
expect most gobblers to be jakes.
