Wanting to use my 11 PP (2 hunter average) this next season, trying to find a decent Mule Deer. It seems point creep keeps me looking at the same Areas every year. So I was looking at Area 118. Eastman's gives it a "C" for access. There is a large WMA, Absaroka Front, that is partially located in this area and there are unlimited permission slips. The WMA encompasses both BLM, State and private land. My question is, if you have the permission slip, can you hunt the private land within the WMA boundaries? I have hunted Wyoming several times before, but have never hunted on a WMA. There is a little bit of NF on the western side, but looks like a lot of roads and trails.

I would call Wyoming and ask the same question. One thing to keep in mind, the WMA"s change every year and I am not sure they have posted the new ones for 2026.
