Most seem to rate those units as great elk spots.
But they take more points than I will likely ever have to spend.

I did a few years ago. Assuming you are going with the bow? You will have plenty of room to roam in several different areas if you can read detail in a map and can hike a few miles at a clip to fulfill your plan. I couldn't get it done on the bull (saw an all-star and some smaller bulls) but came home with a cow. Hopefully you have more seasonable weather - a mid-sept heat wave was not the best scenario for pre-rut activity.
By the way - I would hunt it again in a second.. with full confidence. If you get a chance to scout you will be WAY ahead of the game.

There are great bulls found in both units. I would definitely carry and use OnXMaps! Elk tend to get pushed onto the larger ranches in these units once pressured...especially during rifle seasons. You may take a look at cow season dates. Sometimes there are early rifle cow hunters hunting during archery season...but most cow hunters hunt close to roads. It can get aggravating watching big bulls that know property fencelines! If you have time and plenty of boot leather you ought to do fine in either unit.

SS,
That post started over 2 years ago.
I suspect he’s not coming back to let you know how it went....but it could happen I suppose.

My unit 7 experience | Wyoming
First off thanks to all that helped. Special thanks to wyobowhunt. Here is what I now know about wyoming elk hunting. 1. To not be able to camp on state land is an absolute joke. This was a very big problem for us in a large unit with very limited camping. 2. I will never go back to wyoming...
