[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 594161, member: 505"] There are many more big bulls in New Mexico and Arizona along with a few more states than in Wyoming. Good luck if you find that in Wyoming and let me know if you do. Wyoming has always been a good spot for nice bulls in the 280-330 range but wolves have hurt us quite a bit. I have hunted every western state for elk and Wyoming is not the state to focus on for a trophy however a few do show up every year. I know some guides that could show you what you want on private land but that kind of elk hunting is pricey. In the trophy elk states you can focus on big 350 class bulls and find them. Here you can focus on big bulls and may not or probably will not find one on public land. I saw a couple good ones looking at antelope in 100. It is good open country to glass but very hard to draw. I think you could find a 350 in there if you spent a couple weeks glassing. Find a good outfitter in 7 that has access to good private land and you could see a 350+ bull. Outfitters that control the private on the south side of the bighorns can also probably show you a 350 class bull. I know several units that hold 350 class bulls they are just not as easy to find or as numerous on public land as in trophy elk states like you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
