Wyoming Elk Unit 45

[ssulliv155]

I am a Wyoming resident fairly new to elk hunting. After doing some research, I am considering applying for area 45. Has anybody hunted this area? Is shooting a branch antlered bull a realistic possibly? Any help would be appreciated.

unit 45 is one of the more sought after tags in WY...for obvious reason. Its a great opportunity to chase elk, but ya gotta draw the tag first. And any unit in WY whether limited or general provides a great opportunity for branch antlered bulls

Thanks mtguide, hopefully I will get lucky in the draw!

I scouted it last year and had a friend with the tag and know its a good unit for a decent bull. I'll be scouting again this year for my bow tag!

Welcome to the forum. Please go over to the new members section and give us an introduction.

Area 45 is a great area but tough to draw. If you are new to elk hunting, I recommend getting a cow tag and learning the ropes a bit. Gain knowledge of the area through hunting cows and then when you draw your bull tag, you will have a much better chance at success.

You might want to check out 47. It's pretty good too and a lot easier to draw.

Where do the elk winter in 45, do they leave the unit completely, head to private or stay on 45 public.

But isn't 47 predominately private?

AT Hiker, I believe a lot of the elk go off the mountain to the west, around the Tensleep and Hyatteville area. There is a late season hunt in this area.
