Ditto what others have said about waterfowl hunting and trout fishing. I think some of our best public land waterfowling occurs during the Oct. big game seasons. I always kick myself for not fowling more early as a lot of the good places in Wyo close in November and become refuges for the rest of the season, but when the rubber hits the road I care more about big game than waterfowl. If you're into trout fishing, the brookies and browns will be starting to really color up and spawn at that time. I'd suggest the Pinedale area also for either trout fishing or waterfowl hunting, or mountain grouse hunting for that matter. Most people will be out for big game, leaving some excellent opportunities on the rivers and streams. I'll be in that area hunting moose with my best friend and possibly elk and pronghorn as well depending on draw results tomorrow, PM me if you're interested in some specific spots to check out for trout/waterfowl. The scenery will be awesome that time of year anywhere in the mountainous areas that have aspens also.
