Anybody have any tips, do’s and don’ts, and pictures from Wyoming unit 11?

I have only hunted cows in that area, but we saw plenty of bulls. I'd take a few trips up there to get a lay of the land. Everything from high alpine down to prairie.

I’m working out of town until September. A buddy told me to mainly pay attention to the lower 1/3 of the unit. Is this accurate info?

Depends on when you hunt, but I would say thats pretty accurate. Just like most hunt areas, elk will normally be higher early in the season and lower later in the season.

Wasn't there a thread last week about WY11?

You'll have company opening day, pretty busy with deer hunters and elk hunters.
Elk are all over the area.

There's one every few months.

Depending on where you go, it gets crowded opening day and through that week. This can push the elk back a little higher. If you get off the road you don’t have the company.

Hey Chavy, how'd you do this fall? I'm thinking of trying Unit 11 for Archery elk this year. Anyone know how good some of the checkerboard BLM/State areas are in September?

Deer hunted that area a few years back and saw more bulls than bucks during my time there.

Season ended up getting cut short due to military training, only got to hunt a week of archery, ended up missing a nice 6x6 opening morning and settled for a 5x5 the next day, didn’t want to hold out and end up missing out on meat, part of the unit had 0 elk and finally talked to a guy who led us to the honey hole, somewhat hard to get to

Thanks Chavy, can you share if you were successful on NF, or out in the checkerboard area?

 

[ChavytheGoat]

Saw elk in both, my 5x5 was checker but the majority of the elk were more accessible in NF
