If I wanted a better than average chance of finding a big buck, I'd hunt on private land. If I didn't know any land owners in the area, I'd try to find some public land in the foothills of the southern Bighorns (the area behind me in this pic that I took a few years ago). The area around Lysite and Shoshoni has really been hit hard by the drought, and the mountain lions were doing a number on the deer around Copper Mountain the last time I heard.
