[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1456341, member: 87243"] I grew up in Lyman, it's on I-80 between Evanston and rock springs. I spent 2 years in college in Rock Springs, and I currently live in Kemmerer, which is about 40 miles north of evanston on highway 189 and us30 junction. I know this area very well, and hunt a lot of waterfowl, elk deer and pronghorn. I get pronghorn tags every year, doe/fawn are pretty much 100% for residents in the nearby areas, and buck range from 15%-70% odds close by, 100% odds if you apply in low access areas up north. Elk, deer, bear, and cat tags too I believe are otc. Oh, and now they have a draw for grizzly bear up north, and wolves are open too. As far as the areas you mentioned, if you want a bigger town, Evanston is where I would recommend. I can't honestly suggest Rock springs. If you want that area, Green river is nicer, and close to some world class fishing at the flaming gorge. If you have the right gear, you cam catch 20-40 pound lake trout all day, with the current record at 58 lbs. I believe. There are also small mouth bass, kokanee salmon, and a lot of trout. Burbot too, good eating. I go to the gorge as much as I can. If your ok not being as close to bigger city, I honestly believe that Lyman is one of the nicest areas to live around here, beautiful view of the uintas, great hunting close by (I hunt elk 35 minutes from my parents house) and pretty nice people. Kemmerer here isn't bad, also really close to great, maybe even better hunting. Star valley is a beautiful nest in the mountains, but a little more expensive. You are close to Jackson, which is also beautiful, but the only democratic county in the state and full of a bunch of overpriced commodities. I wouldn't live there, but its nice to vacation there. Anywhere around here, if you need to do big shopping, most people travel to the salt lake valley. About 2 hours, you just make a day out of it. There are wal marts, sporting good places, bigger dealerships and such in evanston and rock springs, but much more options in salt lake.
