Title: Drawn for Unit G in Wyoming....
Post by: ShaneTyTrey on June 19, 2012, 01:41:22 PM: Could be my year, drawn for spring bear, peaches ridge branch bull tag and now Unit G in Wyoming, only had 1 preference point so I think my odds were less than 10%, bring on Sept 15th. I can't wait.

Congrats! I hunted Region H right on the border of G in the Greys River area with Tim Trefren and Trefren Oufitters in 2009. Had a great hunt and took a nice Mule Deer on the 3rd day. Have fun!

Eatmans says it should be hard to get a trophy due to the older bucks having such a low survival rate during 2010-2011 winter. It will take three to five years for the numbers to go up. this is why you drew with low point numbers because everyone is waiting for the herd to rebound before putting in. good luck and awsome country.

That is why I decided not to put in for it this year because everything you read about it these days is that it is just crazy! More and more cameron hanes wannabee's going deeper and deeper and if you can get past them then you start running into the horse camps! I don't have any actual experience with the area though so who knows :dunno:

Post by: Ghost Hunter on June 19, 2012, 07:57:31 PM: Good luck!! I'll be there on a general tag, hunting deer and elk. Spotted a couple at the end of the season that hadn't been bothered. I love the WY hunting experience.

You'll be ok, just buy your points at the end of summer.

I was kind of counting on drawing my tag there this year, even with 5 points I only had about 50% odds, guess it wasnt my year. Good luck you'll have plenty of fun

You can miss accumulating points for one year in Wyoming without losing them. Miss two years in a row - you reset to zero points.

Post by: deerchaser78 on June 28, 2012, 06:16:17 AM: Thats going to be a good tag to hold this year. Wyoming game and fish cut 200 non resident tags this year and shaved a few days off the season. Early spring, youll be in good shape! DIY or hiring a outfitter? We went last year on DIY on the opener it was frustrating. We went up archery one weekend and ran into a outfitter glassing with his kids. Great guy gave us alot of info that helped. We ended up hiring him on our second trip back. We only had 2 days to hunt and he squeezed us in. TOP NOTCH! I didnt draw this year. Best of luck. If your interested hes 5k outfitters.

Post by: Ridgerunner on June 28, 2012, 06:55:05 AM: I remember the 2001 opener in g well. Day before the season had 21 different guys go by us, most were aching top end glass. Definitely not your average hunter. Opening morning missed a huge buck as he crashed down his escape route to me, he was a giant. Pretty country and great genetics for sure, I wish residents would go draw only then that country would be outstanding.

Post by: WAcoueshunter on June 30, 2012, 08:06:57 AM: We hunted it in 2010, and had no crowding problems - in fact, I think we only had maybe two groups stop and hunt our area the whole week, and they didn't stay very long. A couple of factors that likely helped: (a) we didn't hunt the opener, and were there midweek, and (b) the nearest town in any direction was about 90 minutes away from our base camp, which I think helped keep the number of locals down. For example, driving the border of unit 143 to La Barge, there were more and more camps the closer you got to town. Good looking country and smaller hills, but a lot more people too.
