WY Mule Deer Unit 87 — Ferris
AI Scout Preview
WY 87 — Ferris: Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Ferris spans nearly 782,000 acres across rugged east-central Wyoming, with elevations climbing from 5,847 to over 10,000 feet. Seventy percent public land offers solid access for self-guided hunters. The unit's substantial acreage and elevation range support mixed sagebrush and forest habitat typical of the southern Laramie Range region. Hunters willing to walk away from primary roads will find less-pressured country. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show a buck:doe ratio of 46:100—exceptional for mule deer. This indicates a strong, mature buck population with above-average trophy potential across the unit..
