OUT ON A LIMB

[Elmacho]

Guys and Gals,

I am at 9 points this year. Just shy by 1 or 2.

I have tried to research as much as I can to find the best elk unit for a 350 or better opportunity. I prefer to archery hunt it. I live 15 hrs from Wyoming so scouting is limited.

Unit 7 might not be the one, base on what I keep reading about private land issues, but I really don't know if its that bad or just hyped up. Not thinking unit 100 31, 32 would be the place, maybe I am wrong...

I prefer to go unguided, but will consider it if it will get me into wildernesses that might offer up a beast.

Any suggestions on units/hunts welcomed. PM me if you like.

Good luck this season!

....next year ...right??

I'd start by looking at the units you can draw and derive a reasonable expectation from that research. You don't have the points to draw 30/31/100.

Since yer scouting time is limited, you might try southern Colorado...

Does hunting with griz bother you? If not use one of the best outfitters and hunt in the wilderness. Looking for a 350 or better with no experience in the unit, I would hire a professional.

BBB- been to CO many times. About to hunt 76 with my points...I like your sense of humor about trying for a 350 there....

I don't know how the heck I got to 9 points so fast in WYO...time flies...

Good advice on seeing what I can draw with my points, guess I put the bull in front of the points....I do plan to scout the unit once I narrow it down a tad. I just cant come out to WYO and start on a walk about the whole state looking for a big bull. I figure I am 2-4 years out from applying to draw the tag, so I am looking for starting points for that 350+ bull.

I prefer to go DIY, but if its next to impossible to find what I am looking for, then I need to know that too. I know they aren't around every corner, but I am ok with them being around every few corners...

I figure this is a once in a lifetime tag for me with these points.

Already burnt up my NV and AZ points....shot 335 and 355 bulls...I'll never draw Utah.....just seeing if there's a chance at my best in WYO.

Thanks
