There is no access to Vail with out the permit, the website is wyrecreationnw.com They typically let the youth hunters go in there for the first weekend only and that's it. You are going to have 2 days to hunt. I have hunted vail every year except 2 years ago and you don't see many does the first few weeks so cover lots of ground and good luck. My son took his first deer there last year and I took a nice buck but that was with the permit and many days of hunting.
