I have 11 pp in wyoming for Elk,,where should I be looking...

[WapitiBob]

I been applying since wyoming started the pp system..Therr was one yr along that 12 yrs that i failed to get my pp bought...Leaving me 11..1 less than max..I have read studied and listened as much as i possibly could for that 12 yrs...I have followed Mike Eastman and Guy for well over a decade...I have been a member of eastmans...Have been a member of huntin fool...and several more...I have followed wyoming stats for well over a decade..I have a pretty good idea on the top units...i am familiar with Top rut ..I have done as much as i think i can do bein 1200 miles away...i will be 58 yrs old in a couple of days..i will never reach max points...I think it is time for me to go elk hunting...I was hoping what i might could find is someone with real experience....first hand boots on the ground experience and willing to help a flatlander out...I have talk to several wardens and biologist thru out the state and have gathered some good information..But it would sure be nice to land that real hands on connection that tells me this is it...its a no brainer...but that hasnt happen..Everytime i have been west i have made life long friends that i stay in contact with and made memories that will last forever...And i expect before this journey is done it will be the same....I know what i can draw and what i will never draw...Still looking for that connection...

You already know where to apply. Nobody that's very smart is gonna start posting unit numbers and kill the odds for everybody else.

being 58 years old you should look into unit 1 if you havent already burned your points this year, unit one isnt too big of hills, mainly small rollers and thick timber, its in the black hills and like 95 percent public land with good access and some roads but still can get away from vehicles if you want. also has alot of elk and has alot of big elk as well.

I know it’s a little late, but with 11 points you would have a good chance of drawing unit 24 which offers phenomenal archery hunting in September.

Any updates on your 2018 hunt?
What unit did you settle on and how did it go?

A full month in most of the better type 9 areas should net you many elk encounters, likely multiple shot opportunities, and a great chance of success. The type 9's were created in part due to the fact that they are conducive to the type of hunt you desire. Consider a comfortable camp set up (ie: wall tent or camper) with the ability to spike out for days at a time in productive areas. Practice with your bow, practice calling, and never forget the wind is your biggest friend and foe, and the weather will just be what it will be. You will have a great hunt.

You may also want to check out the national directory for campervans along with some information about particular rental companies in New England or wherever your destination is.
