Wyoming unit 71

[AssawomanGunsmith]

Thinking of burning some points next season. I have a buddy who is a Wyoming resident who I’ll be hunting with. One of the units suggested I try to draw is 71, I have the points so I should be able to get it. I’m wanting to rifle hunt and wondering if my assumptions that hunting it at the beginning of the season (sept20) is the right move, my thought is to go after them during the rut, but I’m just wondering if this unit holds elk during that time or if it needs snow to push them into this area
Also if anyone has hunted it and wants to show off bulls that’d be cool

As in what way? A lot of pressure?

Mostly (or all) Wilderness. You will need a guide (or your resident pal) if you are a non-resident. Horses almost mandatory, or be a very strong backpacker with a partner or two.

Lots of elk, lots of bears.
