2025 Wyoming Elk Draw/Questions

[Mojave]

There are scrub oak areas in Wyoming, not tons, but more than you might think.

What? Where is this. I have never seen any oak anything in Wyoming.

I lived in Wyoming for 18 years mostly until joined the Navy.

I have hunted in Wyoming dozens of times all over the state.

Never seen anything like that. Learn something new everyday.

I took my son on a Wyoming Wilderness hunt on the border of Yellowstone (guided horseback, remote camp) when he was 12 on a right of passage (first big game) elk hunt with his grandpa. It was extremely physical, we saw 25 Grizz (probably some repeats), it snowed, rained, we heard wolves howling in the distance, and it's still one of our most treasured memories. Obviously, be safe, and find a hunt that suits you, train for it, and embrace the challenge. You and your son will never forget it.

It seems most of your other questions were answered. There are lots of options on the West for Elk/Mule Deer hunts. I like to focus on one or the other, but that's personal preference.
