Unit 34 info, big horn to a newby

[Phillyfire]

Hi all, I drew a cow elk tag for unit 34. Type 6
I'm looking for any information that may help.
1. How is access south of rt 16
Into big horn wilderness.
2. How is access off of hazelton rd and campsite
Spots.
3. What altitude should I be focusing on.
I know this is just a cow tag but
Any info is appreciated.
This has to be on the big horn forest area south of rt 16.
Thanks in advance fellas.

 

[P.T. Jeffers]

would you like fries (gps coordinates) with that order?

 

[Phillyfire]

No just some general info mainly access information

 

[Hunt_the_West]

Is the type 6 tag good on national forest….

 

[Phillyfire]

Yes that's what it is for

 

[Hunt_the_West]

Heck, and all this time I thought it was “off national forest”

 

[jm77]

Yes that's what it is for

I recommend you read the elk regulations related to your tag.

 

[Phillyfire]

Thank you

 

[Phillyfire]

If true its my mistake. Is it worth going if I hunt on blm or state ?
There is much less elevation off of big horn.
I appreciate all advice,

Copy and pasted off of wyoming game commission.
5 lines up from bottom
State it's for Cow or calf
Sept 1 thru the 30th. On national forest.
Am I missing something ?

 

[Homer]

hmmmm....5 lines up from bottom says....
"one (1) mile of irrigated"

 

[Phillyfire]

hmmmm....5 lines up from bottom says....
"one (1) mile of irrigated"

Ok 4

 

[Homer]

4 from the bottom says "land".....are we not looking at what you posted??

 

[Homer]

are you reading this line??....3 from the bottom?....doesn't say what you need it to say...

"34 6 Sep. 1 Sep. 30 Oct. 9 Dec. 31 Cow or calf valid off
national forest"

 

[Homer]

where'd you go philly?

 

[WapitiBob]

jeezus h

 

[Hunt_the_West]

I don’t think “off national forest” means what you think it does.

 

[Phillyfire]

Ok now I understand, I think I read it wrong. My fault.
Are there elk on blm in unit 34 in early september ?

The elk usually get there the afternoon of September 4th. The only exception is if it rains on September 3rd, then they postpone their trip until the morning of September 5th. This also depends on the amount of rain on September 3rd. @SS! likes to use the 3” per day rule. If it rains 3” on September 3rd, the elk cows will wait 3.3 days before leaving the NF, which means you should get there around 11:20am on September 6th. Bulls use a whole different set of rules.
Hope this helps.

Get some maps, binoculars, and a rifle. Then go to your unit and HUNT. I think Biden has ruined everybodies crystal balls so we are of no help.....

Thanks to people who have tried to help.
To the rest of you you are a disgrace !

always glad to be of help

 

[Seamaster]

Shame on you fellows for not giving the new guy (that apparently can't read the regs) exactly what he wanted, exactly when he wanted!
All he wants is a location, elevation, and campsites.

 

[Zeke]

I didn't try to help or hurt but I'll wear my "disgrace" like a badge of courage if you wish?.
Be safe and have a good hunt!

“What altitude” is a pretty good indication somebody is spending too much time watching the wrong hunting videos.

.....all the supercub and helicopter scouting I've done has been best from 150 to 400 feet altitude... : )

 

[Mackey]

You guys are tough on this poor newbie…….

 

[Soj51hopeful]

You guys are tough on this poor newbie…….

At least they straightened him out on where he can hunt. Poor bastad would have become a poacher if it weren’t for the mm love!
