[QUOTE="blackdog, post: 1033341, member: 30105"] With max (9) non resident elk points going into this years Wyoming elk draw, I'm really wondering what to do with my points. I will be doing this unguided for sure, without horses, and would likely try to hunt at least part of the time during archery season as well as rifle season, even if that meant two trips. One option is 62 which has been recommended to me by some acquaintances. I could draw this unit this year and although rough, I believe that I'm physically fit enough to handle that portion. The unit though sounds heavily timbered and full of grizzlies, two characteristics that I'm not overly fond of. 61 late and 63/63 both seem to fall into a very same category as well. Another option is one of the desert units like 100. While the odds aren't great (8% last year i think with max its), it sounds like it would be a much more 'fun' hunt with open country a guy could glass and cover lots of ground in. While the top end bulls may not be as big, it sounds like you might be able to expect to see more elk. Another option would be one of the central units like 7 or 16. Both sound like they have lots of elk but private issues a guy would have to work around with a GPS chip. Lastly perhaps would be something like a unit 45 hunt in the Bighorns. Perhaps not the 'blue chip' unit some of the others are, but no grizzlies, plenty of public land, and perhaps WAY better elk hunting than this Oregonian could find anywhere in my home state. So thoughts on the best or better direction to pursue? Or any Wyoming residents want to volunteer to take me with them into a wilderness unit to chase a true giant??? ;) Thanks for any insight you might have to offer. [/QUOTE]
