Bridger Antelope Trap

The Bridger Antelope Trap is an archaeological site in Uinta County, Wyoming, associated with local Indigenous hunting practices.

[2] Archaeological investigations, conducted in the late 1960s by Dr. George Frison of the University of Wyoming, indicated that hunters likely used the trap before 1850.

However, its length of service is unknown; archaeologists believe that the site is associated with Indians of the Late Prehistoric Period.

The opening, made of juniper wood, led to the trap proper, located at the base of a hill.

Its entrance is arc-shaped and is close to 0.25 miles (400 m) in length, extending in a northeast-to-southwest direction across a smooth valley.
