Hey Everyone,
I was lucky this year and drew the Wyoming Elk Super Tag , still can’t believe it ..
Little back ground information on me , lifelong resident of Oregon . I grew up hunting blacktail deer and elk and just love being in the outdoors . I’ve never shot a bull over 300” so I feel like this is my opportunity to harvest a great bull and just have an overall awesome experience in Wyoming this coming fall .
With that being said I’ve been researching as much as possible the last few weeks , making phone calls to all the hunt advisors I know and have had lots of residents and non residents reach out with different unit suggestions and ideas ( Great information).
It’s a tough decision to make when I can hunt basically any unit any season ,definitely want to make the most of my time while I’m there . With that I’ve narrowed it downed to 4-5 units ( at least for now ) and after the commission meets and sets tag numbers I think I’ll be able to get down to 2-3 units but feel really fortunate I have lots of time to research and then go out and do a little recon trip this summer just to learn road systems and see the country in person .
I also haven’t ruled out hiring a guide but I am leaning towards DIY with somebuddies so I can take advantage of hunting multiple seasons vs just hunting a 5-7 day window of time .
With that I’d like to get your opinion and curious what your dream unit or units to hunt elk would be if you drew the Super Tag and which route you would go ( Guided or DIY ) ,if you do have an outfitter you’d recommend please tell me who ? Feel free to PM me as well, definitely don’t expect anyone to give up honey holes or anything or valuable advice on a public forum ..!
Thanks ,
Chris
