Anybody hunt around Green River Lakes Wyoming? For Elk, Deer or Antelope

[Mustangs Rule]

Just wondering if anybody has been hunting around Green River Lakes in Wyoming.

I have not been back there in 20 years, but that area was once favorite place in the country.

Moose, but that was like 8 years ago
Saw a thumper of a muley, and there were pronghorn moving through, mostly down low. I guess they came from the JH area?

Lots of people hunting elk. Doesn’t seem like it produces really big big bulls despite the LQ status.

It is a great area to be in. I guess it’s far enough off the beaten path, nobody goes there on accident.

I’d like to be the campground attendant when I retire!

Thanks for your response. I first began going there about 1981. Really began hunting there about 85 when i moved to Wyoming. Hunted there almost every year from 85-2014 for elk, deer and antelope.

The grizzlies really got thick during that period. Did a lot of canoe hunting middle to upper part of the valley.

I bought some acreage an hour south, planned on building there but ran out of young years. Am close to 80 now. Always thought it one of the most spectacular places on earth.

Did you get your moose?

I was fortunate to get a nice one. With the grizzlies and wolves probably better areas, but the location was more important to me than the biggest moose in the state, lots of personal reasons there. I’ll try to attach a few pictures of the trip

Thank you VERY much. I see Square Top Mt, and Sheep Mt to the left. In my middle years I climbed to the top of Sheep Mt. It earns it's name.

A friend of mine took one of his several moose by canoe in one of the back water marshes/ponds that connect to the river. Real easy recovery.

I hunted quite a few Antelope by canoe down river.

Potential for endless mosquitoes till the first freeze.

Looking at the grizz tracks, it was not doing much digging. Claws still long.
