Hunters exploring Area 99, Uinta, Wyoming, should consider a few key insights from others' experiences. Youth hunters can join 'Special' draws for increased odds, making it an attractive option for young enthusiasts. Understanding the different draw odds requires clarity on type designations and specific hunt codes, with many noting that while some type-2 tags restrict access to certain geographical areas, these still offer excellent antelope opportunities. However, hunters should also consider the impact of recent winter kills, which have reduced deer and antelope populations. For improved success, exploring units further north and east, and considering private land access strategies, are recommended.

This area is located in the Green River region in the southwest corner of Wyoming. This unit holds decent numbers of antelope and has the opportunity for hunters to find a Boone and Crockett buck.
This area is considered to be a below to average unit for antelope hunting. In the past this area has produced some good bucks, but it is not the norm. The opportunity to look over lots of bucks while waiting for a larger buck is possible. Good numbers of antelope. Great access with lots of oil field and mine roads.
Terrain in this area is relatively flat with rolling hills and small ravines scattered throughout. Some higher elevation areas can be found on the south end of the unit along the Utah border.
Hunters can find a variety of access roads and areas to travel throughout the unit. Roads vary from well-maintained gravel roads to rarely travelled two track type roads. Private land within the unit can make travel difficult, but most of the unit can be accessed by roads. Some of the private lands have walk in access. An ATV or side by side vehicle is recommended but is not necessary. Highway 150 cuts through the center of the unit and Interstate 80 runs along the north end, providing access to a variety of roads.
Most of the unit has typical Wyoming vegetation. Grass, sage, juniper and pinyon can all be found within this area. Some small areas of mixed conifer and aspen with sage can also hold antelope.
With Evanston on the north end of the unit and Mountain View and Lyman on the northwest of the unit, hunters should not have a difficult time locating places to eat and hotel accommodations. If hunters choose to camp, finding places out of the sun and dust in the unit can be difficult.
