Title: Unit 38 Wyoming (Elk)
Post by: treestand on January 24, 2015, 08:34:01 AM: Anyone out there hunted unit 38 before? I have a few questions if someone can help me out. Thanks!

Starting to build points in WY this year. Don't have a unit in mind but everything I've heard makes it seem like 38 will be worth a hard look in a few years.

Curious to see what you find out!

Post by: Halo on January 26, 2015, 07:54:43 PM: How many points do you have? If I had max or even near max I don't think 38 would be my first choice, but I'm not that familiar with that area either.

Post by: jamesfromseattle on January 26, 2015, 11:12:45 PM: This is through at least a couple levels of hearsay, but I also heard that the Bighorn units haven't been hit as hard by wolves as some others regions, which bodes well for 38. Again, that needs at least a couple grains of salt.

Post by: dromero on February 24, 2015, 07:50:00 PM: I hunted Unit 40 in the Bighorns two years ago. Fish and game killed a wolf in that unit that had killed 30 sheep. Also talked to two different hunters who saw wolves. 2 cents worth.

Post by: lemondog on March 15, 2015, 07:00:04 AM: Treestand, I have hunted 37 and 41 and love the Bighorns. All my research says that 38 is the place to be if you can draw it...

Post by: longrange7mm on March 15, 2015, 07:39:42 AM: 38 would not be my first choice for a big horns tag, Are you archery or rifle hunting? I spend a fair amount of time in 38 there is a good number of elk but also a good number of hunters. It gets hammered by the locals and its a general deer area so you will not find to much alone time in there, as long as the weather stays decent. The first few inches of snow those elk head into 40, 41 and down on the wildlife refuge
