Edit
Area 75 covers the Wyoming Range's southern extension and the LaBarge Creek country west of the Green River Basin—high, timbered mountain terrain that supports a productive elk herd tied to the state's feedground system. Elevations range from about 7,000 feet in the sage foothills to 10,500 feet on the Wyoming Range ridgeline. The mountains carry dense lodgepole, spruce-fir, and aspen forests with grassy parks and meadow openings. The lower slopes transition through mountain brush and aspen into the sagebrush basin country. LaBarge Creek, Fontenelle Creek, and the Hams Fork are the major drainages, providing elk travel corridors between summer range on the mountain crest and winter range on the basin floor and state feedgrounds. Bridger-Teton National Forest covers the mountain terrain, with BLM and private ranch land in the lower basin. Forest roads from LaBarge and Kemmerer reach the eastern drainages. LaBarge and Kemmerer are the supply towns—small but equipped with essentials. Cell service works in the towns and drops in the mountains. The feedground system influences elk distribution here—animals that winter on state feedgrounds return to the same mountain drainages each summer, creating predictable patterns that local hunters exploit. The early-season hunt in the high parks and ridgetops is a scenic experience with bugling elk in September. Late-season hunts target elk migrating toward the feedgrounds as snow accumulates. The Wyoming Range terrain is moderate by Rocky Mountain standards—steep but not cliff country—making this one of the more accessible mountain elk units in western Wyoming. Area 75 in the southern Wyoming Range near LaBarge and Kemmerer is a solid elk unit where nonresident tags typically require 2-4 preference points. No designated wilderness covers the area, though the upper ridgelines have roadless character. No grizzly bears are present. Access is predominantly Bridger-Teton National Forest (public), with BLM and private ranch land in the lower basin country. The area is known for its connection to the state elk feedground system — elk that winter on feedgrounds near Kemmerer and LaBarge return to predictable mountain drainages each fall, creating reliable hunting patterns for those who learn the migration routes. Bull quality is moderate to good (280-310 class), and cow elk tags are often available for meat hunters. The feedground dynamic is controversial but creates consistent elk concentrations that benefit hunters who understand the seasonal movement.

Recent Trophy Scores · 2020–2025

Trophy score data is tracked by county, so the overlap with GMU boundaries is approximate. These numbers tell you whether the area is capable of growing big animals — they do not indicate public vs. private land. Big elk can come from anywhere; most elk in the lower 48 trace back to Yellowstone stock that was transplanted west after the species was nearly extirpated in the early 1900s.
