i've hunted several different areas in wyo. my favorite is the big horns, area 44 or 45 i think. i have the most experience in 67-68-69 east of jackson by dubois. love that area, too. have gotten into some big bulls there. i've also hunted around saratoga in southeast wyo. lots more private land around there, didn't like as much.
the only elk i ever shot was outside meeteetse, south of cody. huge bulls and lots of elk in there, but lots of private land, too and the elk know right where that's at.
