We stayed at the Bill Cody cabins between Cody and the East entrance. We also stayed in a campground in Gardiner prior. Definitely check Lamar Valley out.
175gr Terminal Ascent recovered off shoulder of a cow elk shot at 80 yards quartering away. Used my 30.06 and if I remember correctly it still weighed 167gr after it was cleaned up.
I say go for it and that’s what I did in 2018 in that unit for ML. I was successful on a cow and next time I will debone the quarters. I got her out in 3 trips including my camp but spent 2 days really sick afterwards. Good luck.
I will hang bear bags from now on when backpack hunting. I was sloppy after killing an elk a few years ago and left my tent at 7 am for the 1st load of meat hauling. By the time I got back around 3 pm a bear had ripped the fly open and rummaged through my tent for a mountain house meal I left...

Point creep got us I will be interested in seeing how much it jumped because we were over a point above what it took last year.

My wife and I have been to Yellowstone twice and both were in the shoulder seasons. Still crowded but not nearly as bad as I have seen photos in peak season. We have stayed in Gardiner and between Cody and the East entrance. September was awesome just because of the rut going on and her getting...
Don’t remember the name but in 2015 stayed in a hotel between Des Moines and Council Bluffs on the way home. I was too tired to care but I felt like there was a body under the mattress because it was so high centered. I have smelled dead bodies too many times and it had that odor also. Good...
Congratulations and awesome write up. My wife and I have 2 kids, 19 months apart. It goes fast and I got to watch my son drop a spike elk last year on a NR general tag, he will be 21 in a couple months.
