I’ve hunted western Wyoming for 4 years now during archery. I just got home and could not fill my tag. Lost a third of my hunt due to an injury and ended up in the ER. I want to get back and fill my tag during rifle season.
I’ve never rifle hunted the state for elk. The area I hunt has lower success and a lot of hunters during rifle. Not to mention it’s heavily forested and the elk don’t venture into the open much, even during archery.
I’m looking at some more open, glassable country with better chances of success. The odds in my current unit avg between 10-12% on branch bulls.
Ive crunched a lot of numbers and looking at non-wilderness 67 and unit 83. 83 looks like access is pretty limited. But a burn big burn a few years ago looks like lots of glassable country. I don’t have horses or an atv, just my feet. Can anyone tell me if I would be ok in this unit without either of these?
I’m planning on the back end of October. Who knows what the weather will be doing could be really nasty? Any advice or tips?
