RE: Elk Hunting Units in Wyoming
Salukipv1, You have it down pretty well. I am not sure about the part as drawing a general as second choice. Your best bet given the money spent is to draw a limited area as long as it is a good one. There is a ton of great general areas that are not very pressured. Most people these days are lazy. If you get out off the road two miles you see very few people.
I am not sure but the archery tag isn't that expensive for a non resident is it?
Wyoming has been discussing for years to split archery and rifle tags and you can only hunt one. I think it is a great idea. Less pressure splitting the season and I would save money on all the time I spend elk hunting. It would give me limits instead of a month and a half searching for the big one.
