Well had a great time hiking around the area. Found more Moose than elk and was able to get my first grouse. Unsuccessful on filling the tag but will be looking to return in November.
The tag i have goes thru November and goes from any to anterless. So worse case this is a good scouting trip to learn the area. Im not looking for Bull, a cow would be great. But all the research i've seen sounds like i'll be lucky to even see elk at this point out of wildnerness.
I drew my first tag in Wyoming for area 96. Newer to hunting. This is only my 4th Elk hunt and this is my first out of state hunt. Not planning to use a guide for this so it has cut down the places to hunt quite a bit. Been doing a bunch of e scouting and heading out a couple days before season...
I'll tell ya, this is happening with me for sure. Hopefully some others join as well. The plan is that this isn't just a pig hunt. It would also be an OTC deer, Quail and Rabbit hunt as well. A week of hanging out with some new people and having some fun. Someone also mentioned maybe ending it...
So now that the regs are open, I'm thinking we do Javelina hunt 5095, archery. With that there are options for a OTC for any antlered deer, plus quail, and jacks. Hows that sound?
