[QUOTE="lilharcher, post: 1175856, member: 83227"] Congrats on a great tag! If out of state, you probably waited 8 - 10 years to draw that tag, so why not hire a guide to go after one of those monster bull's that is living in that unit. That is tough to do without knowing the country. Also, if not a resident, I don't think you can access the wilderness areas unless you either hire a guide or hunt with a resident. General info: 2015 Success Rate: 61% Bull/Cow Ratio: 15/100 This is a good hunt for a chance at mature 320-340” class bull with a possibility at seeing a 350” plus bull. Hunting pressure on this unit can be higher in USFS sections of the unit. Horseback spike camp or backpack style hunting is recommended and can increasing chances of being successful. This is a highly sought after tag. Weather is likely to increase opportunity at seeing more elk and improve the chances for a larger bull. The rut will be slowing down during this season. Tags drawn in this season are also valid in units: [URL="http://www.gohunt.com/unit/wyoming-elk-unit-64"]64[/URL] Primary access into the USFS and wilderness section of the unit is through the Grass Creek Road which can be accessed off of State Route 120. Another option is to take the Pitchfork Road out of Meeteetse then turning onto the Wood River Road. Once onto National Forest land, Area 63 can then be accessed by hiking or taking horses into the unit to the south. The area has one Hunter Management Area, the Absorka Front. Fish and game regulations should be reviewed for details on hunting that area.
