You will be hunting the resident deer as the season is too early for the migration. The best bucks are seen the last few days of the elk hunt migrating in so well after the deer season has closed. There used to be a late hunt but it hasn’t been offered in quite a few years. There are lots of roads but a few pockets of good backpacking country.I'm curious if this unit lends itself to backpacking in or is it covered with roads? Seems like decent access. Not sure what part is better, nearer the Colo border or more north? I've read that the deer there migrate out of Colorado into the unit.
That is correct. With the oct 1 rifle opener it makes the most sense unless you live closer and can hunt first week of archery before returning in Oct.To do that a person just has to purchase the archery permit?
I also have a tag in Idaho, so I'll be moving from Wyoming to ID to hunt, that will limit the amount of time I have on the beginning of the season..in fact, I'll most likely (if drawn of course) hunt the last week of Wyoming and then move over to the other state.
It has been limited quota for almost a decade now. There are only 200 licenses issued now.Lots of people in that unit during the deer season. I hunted it once, never went back.
We focus on trophy elk, mule deer, antelope and moose hunts and take B&C bucks most years.
