I hunted 22 several times between 2003 and 2012. Prior to 2012, finding a nice goat was almost easy. We'd kill some small deer, and usually get a chance at a 160-180", or spot one after shooting a smaller one!
When we went in 2012, there was a lot of construction for gas lines so goats, and deer, were harder to come by. The area along the river that provided good cover for whitetail, mule deer, and goats had been grazed, so the cover was gone.
The roads TG mentioned all sound familiar. They are on BLM maps for Buffalo and Kaycee. In 2012, some of the areas had WG&F signs for Public Land or walk-in areas. And there would be a sign beside it that said "No Trespassing - ABC Mining." Your choice!
For deer (I can't remember what deer unit that is), we ended up on the north side of Hwy 90 on some public land. I think it was the Dow Prong Road area, and Highway 14, or it may have been Hwy 16?
I'll post a couple pics from previous hunts.
