    Hopeful Elk hunter

    Thanks The guides were great guys, first trip was 3 for 6. 3 yrs later they limited out 6 for 6!! That first trip our guy just was not quite into it seemed. He never even got close to testing how much shape we were in, wasn’t really challenging. They had long range rifles, and we decided to use...

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I considered that, but if I’m figuring correctly they would need to go from 3 to 5 or more due to point creep so 2 more years. Or just keep applying and hope odds are in your favor to draw the type 6.

    Flying with a camp tent

    Sorry I meant one of those wood stoves. Trying to figure out if they pack down small enough and any recommendations for a good one.

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I looked at that but it does not appear there are any type 4 tags offered in unit 91. This is our fault for not planning this years in advance. It was not this hard in 2017!

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I read the regulations sorry if I am not being specific here. This is what I have come up with; It appears the GEN Any Elk tag they would not draw with only 3 points. type 6 option for unit 91 oct 1-Dec 31st states 300 quota in the REGs. Website states type 6 will not use your preference...

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I am still trying to figure out the best approach for my brother and Dad, who have 3 points. They would go for cow only. I've read all over the website and am completely confused! I understand the reduced cow/calf option which appears to be ~9.7% draw odds. Is there a full price cow only tag...

    Has anyone flown with a camp style tent (2-3 people) with those small heater stoves? What brand did you use?

    ZOLEO and western Wyoming for sat texting

    I am probably going on my first DIY elk hunt. I already have a service called ZOLEO I use while offshore fishing. You use your phone to text via their satellite service, similar to an InReach. Curious if anyone has used this in the mountains in western Wyoming and if it kept signal with the...

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I would apply for the Region W General. Last years results first choice results were 100% if you had 5. I am 99% sure that if you apply and do not draw, you still retain your points and can apply again next year…correct?

    Thanks for the replies, well most of them. You guys confirmed what I was already thinking, too hard to get to, not a lot of options once up there, so thanks.

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I don’t want to hike into a new spot for the first time come hunting season. I’ve never done this so I need to get in there and learn. I just need to be realistic though about access and ability to pack out and narrow it down a bit. There are already way better looking areas to get into, this...

    First DIY Elk Dry Crk Wy

    I know. There's about 100k other areas to hunt I can probably find similar situations. I just needed to get a general example out there. I don't plan on posting any more photos or talk about specific areas like this going forward.

I'm 38, 5'-10"/205lbs, some knee issues and need to get in shape and hunted once same general area but a few miles south with a guide in 2017. I know this is a popular area.

    Hopeful Elk hunter

    As for a pack I got a Kifaru 357 MAG. I am thinking it will fit me well and about 80lbs is probably my limit climbing up a hillside over falldowns anyways. This summer I bought an x-bolt 7mag with a Leupold Mark 3HD 8-24x50mm. It has a basic reticle which I prefer. Have 3 boxes through it so...

    Hopeful Elk hunter

    Lots of dumb questions, get ready.. When we went out we didn't really do anything midday, and I did not like that but these guides already had the areas they were going to hunt. I walked around a little bit but I don't think the guide wanted us to stray far. Do you scout and walk around in the...

    Hopeful Elk hunter

    Yeah that may happen. We have a good relationship with the guides out there since my family hunted with them twice now and IF they have the time they would help pack out for a fee. I may be able to get someone, Dad or brother or a friend to come out also. Everyone else only has 3 points.

    Hopeful Elk hunter

    It was pretty gnarly but there were areas that were not that bad. Hunting the dry creek and cottonwood creek areas east of Afton/Smoot. I don’t mind a challenge, this is more about enjoying the hunting. I would be happy as heck getting an elk with a guide but something tells me I’ll be more...

    Hopeful Elk hunter

    Yes that is a big concern of mine and one of the main reasons I am considering the guide. If its hot out that could be a major problem getting the meat out by myself in time. I would go out there before hand in September to scout and learn the terrain and limit my shots to where recovery is...

    Hopeful Elk hunter

    Not really. I hunted this area with a guide in 2018 but it was hot and elk were not moving and I did not get one. Our group went 3 for 6. The group went back a few years later but I could not go. Having been there and a general idea of the area was why i'd like to go back. I have alot to...
