Yep, if you want help from this group you need to be just a little bit more specific. If you already have a trailhead you are setting out on it sounds like you have a good idea of where you want to hunt. A lot of good guys on here with some massive knowlege. Most are more than willing to help if you do a little footwork on your own. Region G is HUGE. Give us some sort of starting point.

It's been a couple of years since I last hunted G.
I can tell you that camping at a trailhead and hiking in every day is gonna wear on you quick. You'd be better off backpacking in and staying for a few days or even better off just bushwhacking in where there aren't any trails.
The major trailheads get hit hard by outfitters and guys with horses. Pretty tough to compete with the horse guys if you're hunting the same country and hiking it every day instead of riding it.
The places you mentioned get hit hard...

Brownie, How many in your party and what quality of bucks would you be happy with? Are you guys in great shape, able to walk uphill for miles before daylight? Or, more like some, me included anymore, who like to sneak and peek hunt or sit glassing on a vantage point closer to camp? Any limitations?
Info like this can help those that might consider giving you some great advice about your hunt, hunting area, or where in particular you may want to go. Good luck!

Agree with everything above but will add this....The northern half can be brutal (Greys River Range, etc.). Like Prism said, the trailheads get hit hard on the northern half and the terrain is steep (great for glassing). Prepare to hunt hard for a good buck. They aren't as plentiful as they have been in the past. The minute it snows head to the southern half of the area above Cokeville on the west and Big Piney on the east. The deer migrate south in mass when it snows. Try around the Wyoming Peak area. Some great bucks always hang out around there. Foot traffic is the only way to hunt that area and most aren't willing to brave the thick terrain. Good luck.

There will be five hunters in our group,a couple of us would be able to leave before light and hunt hard,but the other three would probably stay within a mile or two of camp. Our ages range from 25 to 71 so that tells you where were at. As what kind of bucks were looking for,most of us would be happy with anything in the 22 to 24 inch range. Don't get me wrong we'll be shopping for a buster if the deer are there. Thanks hope to hear from you soon. Doug.

The trail heads will wear you out quick! I know the salt river drainage like my yard and without horses it will be tough. My advice is hunt close to the roads. I have said it many times there are good bucks watching the traffic on Hwy 89. One five acre grove is all they need to hang out. So if you get tired go low! Good luck its great country.
