Hunters discussing Wyoming's Area 37 highlight some discrepancies in draw odds data between GOHUNT and Wyoming's official figures, particularly regarding second-choice odds and draw trends. Clarification was provided indicating that 100% draw odds for a Type 1 license with zero points were due to low applicant numbers for remaining tags. New users appreciate the information available, though there's some confusion around mapping tool legends and hunting zone accessibility. For those planning family-friendly hunts, the area is considered accessible and suitable, but ensuring accurate understanding of draw odds and consulting official resources can enhance planning.

Area 37 can be found on the southern border of the state and to the southeast of Laramie. Made up of high plains desert and part of the Laramie Mountain Range, this unit has some state land, as well as small parts within the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. It is bordered by Interstate 80 on the north, Interstate 25 on the east, the Colorado state line on the south and Wyoming Highway 287 on the west.
This hunt area has poor general access to public land but an overall high success rate for harvest. Using an outfitter to access private lands is always a good bet to increase odds of success. Lone Tree Creek and Monolith Ranch Habitat Management Areas could have access.
There are different types of grassy and desert-like open prairie with big basins, creek bottoms and rolling hills that make it easier to put on a stalk. Rougher terrain in the Laramie Mountains is better for spot and stalk hunting.
Public access in this unit is decent, and not a lot of public roads touch the state land parcels. A lot of roads here are well maintained, with some passable only with four-wheel drive or ATVs.
Open land of high desert prairie with sagebrush and grassland can be found here. Rocky bluffs, sagebrush, cedars and small trees can also be found in the higher elevations of the mountains here.
Laramie and Cheyenne are the closest towns, and have a lot of lodging options. Grocery stores, gas stations and other amenities can be found here as well. Camping is allowed on all public ground for up to 16 days in one location. Hunters can also camp in remote locations.
