Edit
Area 90 covers the central Wyoming Range and the upper Hoback country—the heart of the Wyoming Range mountain block between the Hoback to the north and the LaBarge country to the south. Elevations run from about 6,500 feet on the lower forest fringes to over 11,000 feet on Wyoming Peak (11,378) and the surrounding crest. The forest is deep and continuous: aspen and lodgepole pine on the lower slopes, transitioning into Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole through the mid-elevations, with whitebark pine on the highest ridges and alpine meadow above timberline. Major drainages include the upper Hoback, Cottonwood Creek, and the headwaters of LaBarge Creek. The Wyoming Range Trail runs the spine of the range—a 70-mile foot-and-horseback route from the Snake River near Hoback Junction down to the south end. Bridger-Teton National Forest dominates with proposed wilderness designations covering portions. US-189/191 frames the access from the east; forest roads off it climb into the high country. Pinedale is the supply hub; Big Piney and Bondurant have basics. Cell service drops fast. Quality elk in the timber, mule deer in the aspens, and the country sees less pressure than the Tetons or Wind Rivers despite producing comparable bulls. Grizzly bear country, increasingly so. The Wyoming Range is overlooked because everyone drives past it on their way to Yellowstone or the Tetons—that's exactly why you want to hunt it.

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.
