So looking for a little help. My son drew a youth WY unit 45 cow elk tag. Its type 6 tag so we cant hunt on national forest land. We also have to avoid a very busy high school football schedule. Im thinking that we will be coming out the 1st or 2nd week of November.
This is the first elk hunt we've ever done. Actually Ive only ever seen 2 elk in the wild and they were during a antelope hunt. We've also never hunted mountains. So to say we are inexperienced would be an understatement.
Just looking for any advice/ help we can get. Ive been pouring over google earth and OnX maps and so far think we may focus on the area of tensleep/hyatville road in the cloud peak/ Renner area. Anyone ever been in this are and can confirm that elk may use it during that time period. Or am I completely off base. I found that its really hard to internet scout when you have no idea what to look for. Thanks in advance for any help.
