Best first elk hunt for newbies, non-resident Wyoming.

[nashian76]

I’m new to elk hunting and my long-term goal is to build skills and knowledge to become confident enough to go DIY public land archery bull hunt. I would be coming from Michigan so scouting months or weeks in advance isn’t in the cards at this time. I’m trying to decide the best first step to actually learn the skills, as well as get a lay of the land. I’m looking at two main options, but open to any suggestions as well.

Option one: Pick up a cow elk tag for a few years to learn the skills and land while building more points for a decent bull tag.

Option two: Go fully guided and try to learn for their experiences.

From my experience the only way I've learned is to go. Cow hunts are fun and generally more laid back. I say option 1. But if you can hunt the same time frame as your "bull" tag would be.
