Wy unit 100 type 5 elk

[DanMan]

Anyone familiar with how good a tag this might be ? Just some last minutes thoughts on applying for a cow tag but never been in this area before. It looks like decent harvest stats but with the later dates of this type 5 tag wasn't sure how easy or difficult it might be to get around in the unit. Also wasn't sure if the type 5 is unit wide or is limited ?
Appreciate any info you might want to share.
Thanks,
Dan

Access isn’t a problem at all.

If 100-5 limited you to a specific part of the area it would be listed in the description.

It can be rough getting around in that country. This year not an issue at all. Last year accessing any of it from the north was impossible after Thanksgiving. From the south there is usually access VIA oil and gas roads, but if the weather hit right anything off the plowed Oil and gas roads might be rough. Last year was an anomaly compared to normal years, this year is the extreme opposite. I would say you should have easy access more than not.

In some cases finding a cow might be an issue. 2 weekneds ago I saw 74 bulls in the unit and no cows. However earlier this fall I saw a herd of 400+ cows.

Thank you guys for sharing. I'm having to think about something simple this year and thought this might be a fun hunt to see a lot of elk and take home some good cow meat ?.
Two of us have applied for this tag so we will see how it goes if drawn.
