Wyoming 9-11 points

[SoDak_23]

Looking for advice for places to look into for 3 non residents to hunt elk in 2-3 years. We have been building up points and I have talked privately to a few of the forum members (thank you for the advice!). Not wanting to pay for a fully guided hunt but open to paying for access or a drop camp hunt in a good area. Preferably away from Grizzly country as we have no experience/advice but just wanted to start narrowing down some areas if anyone has any advice feel free to PM me. I've done some research and have a couple spots in mind but want to explore some options before I start calling biologists. Thanks!

Invest in an hunt area research membership such as Go Hunt

Here’s my advice for what it is worth. With point creep and the number of people with points, this is probably a once and a lifetime hunt. Listen to Randy Newburgh’s pod cast on the subject. Pick some units and hunt them for deer, bear, or cow elk. Hunt it for a couple years and learn it to make the most out of the tag.

That is some very solid advice! I suggest also deciding on the type of area you want to hunt. Thick Mountain Forrests and Lower Cedar/Juniper Country can be very different types of hunts. Good luck!

All great advice. I have been watching/listening to a ton of Randy Newberg stuff since starting to get serious about Elk Hunting. He is a great resource.

I have been leaning towards Unit 11 (only 3 hours from me) or Unit 45 in the Bighorns. I hope to be able to get up to 45 and check it out. I was in 11 a couple weeks ago and has a few open meadows but is also some thick country.

Thick country would usually involve the use of more calling and open country can become more of a spot and stalk type of hunt.

I plan on hitting up unit 7 again when I have enough points. Unfortunately I've only got 2 now so it will be awhile.

Hmm. . . You're optimistic, I have 9 pts and am contemplating just giving up!
