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 81, known as South Fork, is located in northwestern Wyoming within Park County, south of Cody and extending along the South Fork corridor of the Shoshone River. This unit lies at the transition between open basin country and rising foothills leading toward the Absaroka Range. The landscape is defined by rolling sagebrush flats, broad basins, desert benches, shallow drainages, low ridgelines, and foothill terrain near the South Fork. Compared to flatter basin units, Area 81 offers more terrain diversity, creating natural structure that pronghorn use throughout the day.\r\n\r\nPronghorn in Area 81 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 the lee side of ridges for shade and wind relief. Morning and evening movement is frequent across sagebrush plains, basin bottoms, grassy benches, and along natural travel corridors influenced by terrain, fencing, and water availability.\r\n\r\nHunting Area 81 favors long-range glassing combined with patient spot-and-stalk tactics. Hunters often glass from low ridgelines, basin rims, elevated benches, and foothill vantage points overlooking the South Fork corridor. 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 81 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, but careful attention to land ownership and access routes is 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 basin-and-foothill environment where landmarks can be 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 South Fork antelope unit.","brand":"Map the Xperience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45863165231260,"sku":"1728346","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-81-south-fork-map-1728346-preview-0_66dc51ae-a500-4eca-84ce-5b986010691d.jpg?v=1767028055","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-81-south-fork-map-the-xperience-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
