All are difficult public access areas. If I had to pick one of these units I suppose it would be 113, but honestly none of the are wonderful areas for DIY hunters on public land. I have seen nice bucks on private land in 25. Since it is so close to Casper the public land is quickly overrun with orange caps and has little game. If you put in the time and effort (hiking, doing research, etc.) you should be able to eventually find something legal in almost any unit. Expecting to find a trophy buck is another matter entirely.

If you are concerned about B&C scores you will be ahead to look at units that you can draw in the Special (higher price) draw. This will give you more options. Do your homework on the WGFD site and on the telephone with BLM folks and wardens. Too many new hunters ask these very same questions every year on every site to realistically expect other guys to give out specifics on hunting units. The competition to draw good tags is getting very tough.

Good luck.
