Each map includes 3D hillshade, contour lines, public and private land boundaries, major roads only, hydrology, and essential terrain features. Lose yourself in Wyoming’s wide-open antelope country—yet NEVER GET LOST.\r\n\r\nWyoming Antelope Area 79, known as Big Horn, is located in north-central Wyoming within Big Horn County, west of the town of Lovell and along the western edge of the Bighorn Basin near the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. This unit is defined by expansive sagebrush plains, broad open basins, rolling desert benches, shallow drainages, low ridgelines, and foothill transitions where basin country meets rising terrain. The landscape offers a blend of wide visibility and subtle terrain structure, creating excellent pronghorn habitat.\r\n\r\nPronghorn in Area 79 commonly bed on open benches, gentle ridges, and elevated flats where visibility is maximized. During warmer parts of the day, antelope often move into shallow draws, basin edges, north-facing slopes, and terrain folds for shade and wind relief. Morning and evening movement is frequent across sagebrush flats, basin bottoms, grassy benches, and natural travel corridors, particularly near water sources and fence lines.\r\n\r\nHunting Area 79 favors long-range glassing paired with patient spot-and-stalk tactics. Hunters often glass from low ridgelines, basin rims, elevated benches, and foothill vantage points near the Big Horn foothills to locate antelope across expansive terrain. Successful stalks rely on using rolling terrain, shallow cuts, desert swales, fence lines, and subtle elevation changes to remain concealed. Wind direction is a constant factor in this open country, making careful planning essential. Ambush opportunities may exist near water developments, springs, fence crossings, and terrain funnels created by basin necks and foothill transitions.\r\n\r\nLand ownership in Area 79 is a mix of public land, State Trust parcels, and private holdings, with boundary patterns that vary throughout the unit. Public access is generally good compared to many eastern units, but careful attention to land ownership remains critical. Our map clearly displays all land ownership, access routes, hydrology, and terrain features needed to navigate confidently and legally across the unit.\r\n\r\nHunters rely on our maps because they provide precise, GPS-accurate tracking in the Avenza app—even without cell service—critical in this expansive basin-and-foothill landscape where landmarks are subtle and distances deceptive. The 3D hillshade layer highlights basin edges, benches, shallow draws, ridgelines, and elevation changes, helping hunters better interpret pronghorn movement and plan efficient glassing and stalk strategies. The clean, uncluttered layout delivers all essential details for marking glassing locations, access points, water sources, stalk routes, and harvest sites.\r\n\r\nFor best field performance, download your map before entering the unit, place your device in airplane mode to conserve battery life, and carry a backup power source. Pre-marking access points, property boundaries, glassing knobs, water sources, and likely travel routes will greatly improve efficiency and success while hunting the Big Horn antelope unit.","brand":"Map the Xperience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45862938771612,"sku":"1728345","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7850\/5884\/files\/map-the-xperience-2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-79-big-horn-map-1728345-preview-0_1891d296-c12d-4269-8f0c-afde9e122a25.jpg?v=1767028054","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-79-big-horn-map-the-xperience-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
