It's one thing not to tell anyone. It's another to blatantly mislead someone.

Understood but its also one thing to try and use a picture or something like that to try and swoop in on an area that somebody worked to find.  :twocents:

I’m not trying to find an area or someone’s secret wonderful private spot.  I’m trying to find a unit/GMU.  If I told you I shot by bull elk in the Dayton area this year, I’m in no way giving info on my hunting spot. Your talking hundreds of square miles in a unit/GMU.  Very very different. A unit has 100’s of areas. I found the episode I was looking for. It’s a YouTube series. “Late Wyoming elk hunt with Randy and Matthew Newberg 2018”.  Good one to watch. It goes day by day coverage of the hunt with each day being its own episode.

Shh, we're keeping Dayton a secret. :chuckle:

The forum seems extra touchy lately.

Great, now my odds of drawing are going from one in 200 years to one in 400 years  :chuckle:

I remember back when people thought Michael and Janet Jackson were the same person.

Could Randy and Steve be one person?

There will be another video of the same hunt area with Randy's uncle from their hunt this year.  It sounds like they saw just as many elk and bulls...so, I'm guessing if it wasn't a max point unit in the 2019 draw...it should be for 2020.  Unless of course demand for lots of big bulls on public land in moderate terrain drops unexpectedly next year  :chuckle:

He said in the comments that he doesn't give out the specific units but that one wasn't a max point unit....at least it wasn't when they drew.

I think it will be hard to figure out the exact unit unless you are intimately familiar with WY.  The comments seemed to suggest many of the bulls might have been on private and there was some BLM you needed to catch them on.  That doesn't help as most of WY has patches of BLM.

I know which unit it is, but I am so tired of seeing unit names and hunting areas on social media that I would rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon before giving up the info.

Except it was revealed on another hunting forum.

A lot of people think they know which unit it is but they’re likely wrong.

Some of us like idahohuntr and myself really do know. I personally choose not to reveal hunting units and areas publicly, PM's are different. I am not saying the OP wanted an answer in the public forum but it really can and does hurt hunting and fishing areas.

Dvolmer, if you don’t have try gohunt. Sometimes you can find a promotion code that’ll give you 30 free. Use the layers to see where you might be able to draw with your amount of points and go from there. A lot of good info on there. Odds are correct because it’s looking at last years applicants but it can give a trend.
Good luck
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.
