[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1542058, member: 28854"] You could go one of two ways if you want to go to unit 38 in the Big Horns. If you bow hunt, the unit 38-9 archery tag could be draw with your PPs. 85.71% drew it with less than 10 PPs last year and the season is the entire month of September, which is the best time to be in the mountains because you can can catch the rut and that gives you a big advantage of finding and killing a big bull. The good thing is also that a Type 1 tag holder cannot buy the special archery tag to hunt with a bow in September like you can in a lot of the Wyoming units. The other good thing is that there are no grizzly bears in the Big Horns like the west side of the state that is crawling with them. if you don't bow hunt, you could draw the Type 1 tag you mentioned you're looking at with your PPs, as 50% drew it last year with just 7PPs. To answer he question by the other member about fines for a NR hunting in a wilderness area without a guide I believe since it would be a simple misdemeanor that it would probably be around $200. That's just a guess based on trespassing fines out there. I would be a lot more worried that G&F would try to tack on a lack of hunting privileges for a year or more and that would be honored in 47 other states under the Wildlife Violator Compact. That alone would not be worth taking the risk IMHO. [/QUOTE]
