great elk country, but full of grizz. You will most likely see them every day, sometimes very close. I love to hunt elk up there but it is a full commitment type of hunt. Very steep and nasty. But a good chance for a good bull that time of year with very few tags.

I hunted it last year with Trails West Outfitters as a nonresident. We were into elk as well as grizzlies everyday. The grizzly, supposedly 83 in the Basin made it difficult to put a stock on any elk. I believe at least 2 of the 6 hunters in the two camps during my week had their elk at least partially eaten. Resident hunters I talked to were having a real difficult time with bears and ended up riding in from the trail head in the dark and out in the dark 3 hours each way. The bears were just really brazen I had one stalk me for over a mile as my guide watched from across the basin. Should have could have shot a monster bottom line I shot a good elk.

Sorry I gave you info on 61 type I. I know a little from what I've been told on Type 2. I believe unlike 1 it is mainly private it is not as steep and is mainly the flat area from Jack Creek trailhead to Meetsee. I would line up access which I hear is quite pricey before I applied from what I hear. I think if you get snow its a great hunt . I think it goes into the middle of November it is a great hunt if you get snow, if not it can be tough.

As of last year the G and F doubled the season (it now starts Oct 15th), doubled the tags, and doubled the area (you can hunt all of unit 61 now). I also feel they double f'd it all up. Now those guys hunting 61 type one the last two weeks of October have to deal with the type 2 guys that drew and visa versa.

For access through all the private land call Ryan @ 307-272-7979
he owns a cabin at the end of the road and can provide access and possibly accomodations in the cabin. He is a super good guy.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-25-13 AT 10:14PM (MST)[p]Hi tetoncomando. PM me if you'd like. I'm just curious who you are? I'm Ryan's brother. I'm assuming you know him pretty well? He is a good guy but I'm not sure after the last year or so of hunting seasons if he'll be handing out any more permission unless you're friends or family. A guy never knows though I guess till you ask. Maybe he'll be caught in the right mood. I'm just saying that so a guy doesn't get his hopes up.

Definitely grizzly central there. I'd suggest taking horses along each day & try to pack it out asap. If you go back the next day after it, you'll likely have a grizzly on it. I know of 3 guys that shot bulls & all three had problems with grizzlies.

solar electric fences should be packed in and used.
