WY Pronghorn Unit 10 — Lake De Smet

WY 10 — Lake De Smet Terrain & Access WY 10 spans 114,682 acres across rolling high-plains and foothill terrain between 3,800 and 5,100 feet. Public land represents just 11% of the unit, making this a predominantly private-land hunt requiring access arrangements or outfitter partnership. The elevation range supports open sagebrush, grassland, and scattered pinyon-juniper habitat typical of north-central Wyoming pronghorn country. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show a buck:doe ratio of 39:100, which is above average for pronghorn—indicating a well-balanced male population relative to females. This ratio reflects a herd in good reproductive condition with adequate breeding males..
