AI Scout Preview

WY 66 — Bates Hole-Hat Six. Terrain & Access WY 66 spans 4,970 to 8,743 feet across the Bates Hole and Hat Six country, with just over half the unit on public land. The elevation range supports both lower-country and high-country habitat, providing varied terrain for mule deer and white-tailed deer hunting. Access is mixed — public parcels are interspersed with private holdings, so hunters should expect to identify specific public-land blocks before the hunt and confirm access. The presence of private land throughout the unit means success often hinges on locating huntable public acreage and understanding boundaries..
