I have 13 resident preference points for Wyoming going into the 2017 draw. I am going to cash them in because the moose situation is getting more grim as the years pass. I can draw about 5-6 areas according to last years draw results. I have narrowed it down to about 3 or 4 that i would like some more information on if at all possible. Im not looking for the biggest moose on the mountain or the smallest just a good respectable bull. The first area i had in mind and was leaning toward is area 3, which is mostly wilderness. I am pretty sure i can line up horses to hunt the area. Next area a friend recommended was area 24. he knows it well, but i think it has alot of hunters for various species going on at the same time. The last area i thought about is area 35, it has low moose densities and about half private lands to deal with. My question is for anyone who has hunted any of the areas mentioned. How was the moose populations, the overall hunting, or lack there of. Or if there was alot of hunting pressure by either hunters or wolves or grizzlies? I have about 2 months to gather info on the areas and decide which to apply for in 2017. I will have plenty of time to scout and hunt any and all seasons. My work schedule is 4 days on and 4 days off, plus i have saved vacation for this year to help if i need alot of days off in a row to hunt. Any info or past experiences with these 3 units will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again
