and if so is it hard to draw a muledeer or elk tag there? I think there is like 1.1 million acres to hunt on?

I hunted above Tensleep a couple of years. Drew an elk tag every year (didn't know how lucky I was) and there are some nice bucks. The resident deer tag was over the counter. Of all the places I've hunted in Wyoming, it was by far the least crowded and if you were willing to get off the road you could hunt all day and the only hunters you'd see were on distant ridges...

The Bighorns have become increasingly popular in recent years due to the growing presence of wolves and grizzlies in the other mountain ranges, so tags may be slightly harder to draw than they used to be. You may want to check the drawing odds for yourself to see how much they have changed- I'm not sure what they are for non-residents. Deer should still be easy enough to draw.

Thanks guys, I am going to do some research on the area and also odds on drawing mulie tags.
