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 89, known as Piney, is located in north-central Wyoming within Sheridan and Johnson Counties, east of the Bighorn Mountains and south of the Tongue River country. This unit lies along the eastern edge of the Bighorn Basin and transitions into the rolling plains of the Powder River Basin. The landscape is characterized by expansive sagebrush flats, broad open basins, rolling benches, shallow drainages, low ridgelines, and subtle breaks that provide classic pronghorn habitat with excellent visibility.\r\n\r\nPronghorn in Area 89 commonly bed on open benches, gentle ridges, and elevated flats where long sightlines offer security. During warmer parts of the day, antelope often move into shallow draws, basin edges, terrain folds, and north-facing slopes for shade and wind relief. Morning and evening movement is frequent across sagebrush plains, basin bottoms, grassy benches, and natural travel corridors influenced by fencing, drainages, and limited water sources.\r\n\r\nHunting Area 89 strongly favors long-range glassing paired with patient spot-and-stalk tactics. Hunters typically glass from low ridgelines, basin rims, elevated benches, and subtle high points to locate antelope across wide expanses of open terrain. Successful stalks rely on using shallow cuts, desert swales, terrain rolls, fence lines, and minor elevation changes to remain concealed. Wind direction is a constant factor in this exposed environment, making careful planning essential. Ambush-style opportunities may exist near water developments, springs, fence crossings, and terrain funnels created by basin necks and drainage intersections.\r\n\r\nLand ownership in Area 89 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 Wyoming units, but close 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 country 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 Piney antelope unit.","brand":"Map the Xperience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45871394422940,"sku":"1728424","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-89-piney-map-1728424-preview-0_186858df-be23-44dc-b11e-aa6fc8d99e7a.jpg?v=1767103755","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/2025-wyoming-hunt-map-antelope-area-89-piney-map-the-xperience-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
