Drew General West with 5.5 points. The work began yesterday. I started my walking back and I need to take off a few pounds.
It sure is tough trying to figure out where to start. So many units with very little knowledge on elk hunting. As a non-resident I know to rule out wilderness units. I have never trusted Wyoming harvest results. Reading the elk reports seems so broad and not unit but regional information. So my best plan may be setting aside at least 3 weeks off and covering as much area as I can to try and locate elk. I am very happy to finally draw my first elk tag. And what could be better than spending up to 3 weeks in Western Wyoming in the fall.

Call the game warden and get some info about the area.

Well The last couple of years I haven't drew cow or bull and this year is no different, but my son applied for cow for the very first time and gets drawn lol , I'm so happy now we get to go hunt together for the first time.....
Congratulations, over the past two years I was able to take my son and then my daughter to Wyoming for their first elk hunt. Both of them killed their first bull, I was more excited and happy than I remember being for any animal I have ever taken. I hope you and your son have a blast and regardless of the success there is nothing better than hunting with your kids.

No tag for me this year, but will be taking a scouting and fishing trip in the area that we hope to draw next year. I had an "any elk" tag and a cow tag and spent 6 weeks in WY in 2022. You may want to consider spending the extra $75 to get an archery tag. You can use a crossbow if you aren't a stick hunter, and the hunting pressure is a tiny portion of what the rifle hunt will be in General areas. It seems that everybody and their little brother have horses in Wyoming, and many of them are in the mountains once the rifle season starts. If you are not successful, you can come back for the rifle season...IF you have the time. Good luck.
