Hunted it last year with my son. Went a little later and never seen another hunter.
We did not have a atv and we were just fine, however might be a good insurance policy
if it gets wet. Jeffrey City still had gas and some rooms as of last year. Did not see any
trophy type animals but no...
Hunted 4 days last season last 2 days Sept first 2 days Oct in 8 point
unit and never seen another hunter. Could not find a real good buck
but what a great time with unit to ourselves.
Great pics wytex, can't wait to head west this fall as I need to get the heck away for a while. What do you guys think this
buck will score ? I am working on my scoring skills for this falls hunt. I would guess lower to mid 70's, am I close. Pat
My son and I have enough points to draw a good unit either this year or next depending on the elk draw. Wondering
if anyone has a ball park figure on cost of hunting private in the north east corner? Would like to hunt there when our
points are gone in future.
SDHNTR- I agree and hate the bowhunters wound animals talk to. But I was really dissapointed
with the overall atitude from most of alll hunters I came across. To make it worse they would even

placed arrow. Yes there...
Just returned from the Gila. Hired a guide for the first four days. Pulled back 3 times on nice
bulls but could not get a good clear shot because of trees, sticks, etc and got my butt chewed.
Was told you have to make things happen, like I guess wound one. Talked to a hunter at the gas
station...
Thanks guys and I agree with what you are saying. If I were to come home with a 320 bull
I would be real happy. However a 320 bull on the last day would be much better than the first.
I waited 8 years to finally draw a NM tag and much longer for my first trophy unit and I would
hate to end it in...
Hey guys newbie here so be easy, enjoy reading your posts and I am trying to
absorb any and all western hunting information that's available. I leave for 16A
the 16th to hunt the 19th.
So here's my dilema, I have only hunted elk 3 times and been fortunate enough
to kill a spike and two 6x6's...
