I always thihk of Carbon County as south central. Please spare yourself and don't come to SE Wyoming on a self guided hunt on public land. There are few deer and quality is poor. Take Ben's advice and go to Carbon County or some other location. I live in SE Wyo and I hunt other places like Colorado. Unless you want to go on a private ranch, please save your $$ and go to another location. SE Wyoming is not a good place for public land or trespass hunts and the quality and numbers are getting worse! Avoid Regions J and T.

I am from Southeast Wyoming and can't agree more with ICMDEER on this one. The amount of public land is hunted way to hard for the number of deer we have. Most of the good ranches are leased or they just don't allow hunting. Carbon is a decent place (140-160) if you are willing to work hard and get away from the roads.

Don't come to Carbon County, these people don't know what they are talking about, there are no deer in Carbon County! Besides that you run the risk of being shot, the amount of people in Carbon County is disgusting, stay away!!!!!! There are alot better chances of killing a decent buck over by Torrington or further north around Douglas or Gillette, you will have alot better luck. Maybe you can go up to Jackson, alot of deer and so much country, you couldn't hunt it all if you tried the rest of your life.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-25-05 AT 07:38AM (MST)[p]I will be honest with you there are some ok/good deer in Southeast Wyoming but unless you can get on a ranch with/without an outfitter you are going to have a hard time finding an average buck. The walk-ins are over run by out of state hunters because they have no where else to go. I know this for a fact because I found a freak antelope on a walk-in during archery season and could never close the deal. I figured that opening day of rifle I would be able to get him, no such luck. The number of hunters on the walk-in was unbelieveable. I counted 10 trucks on this little walk in (9 out of state). I was the only stupid resident to think that the walk-in was not going to be over run. If you are serious about hunting SE Wyoming I would try to find some private land to hunt (good luck).

Tory,
I was just messing with you guys, as I am confident you guys know what you are talking about. However, I have to disagree with you! You think southeast wyoming is overrun by non-resident and lack of game to withstand the amount of pressure they recieve. You should check out Carbon County, mainly the Sierra Madre National Forest during hunting season. I grew up hunting this area, for nearly ten years my dad and i hunted this area. I never wanted to hunt anywhere else, as a die hard hunting fan, especially muleys i never could have imagined myself honestly believing that this place is finished! What use to be some of the best hunting wyoming had to offer, has now become a mad house with 1-3 people getting shoot every year because of the shear pressure of the area. You can not drive down the road anymore without seeing hundreds of vehicles with at least and i stress at least 90% being out of staters. now i don't mind that, that is the way it goes. but it had become a rat race and after spending many years hunting out there and absolutely falling in love with this area i have chosen and vowed to never go back, pretty sad if you ask me. As far as the effects of the over pressure, i have taken three of my best deer in this general public area, but now you are damn lucky to see a buck deer period. you just don't see them anymore, not to say they are not out there, they are just not stupid anymore. this area had become good for one thing and one thing only, "A PARTY"! you can't drive down the main south highway and not see camps with 10-15 campers, trucks, tents, campfires. it is a party! you know people from rawlins, ask them they will tell you the same thing. at least while we were in school you knew people other than me from rawlins, do you still see or hear from any of them.
