WY Mule Deer Unit 165 — YU Bench
AI Scout Preview
WY 165 — YU Bench. Terrain & Access WY 165 spans 213,000 acres across a moderate elevation range (4,710–6,655 ft), with 80% public land offering solid opportunity for self-directed hunters. The Greybull River drainage anchors the unit and concentrates deer habitat; public access via the Greybull River HMA and Schlenker Ranch provides reliable entry points. The terrain transitions from lower sagebrush foothills to mixed conifer zones at higher elevation, typical of north-central Wyoming's front-country character. Road access is reasonable, making this unit manageable for hunters without pack stock or extreme backcountry skills. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys..
