I archery hunted this unit and only saw one other hunter on day one of the hunt. We stayed at bear lodge resort off HWY 14A and it was a great spot for basecamp. All of our spots were easy enough to drive to in the morning and hunt all day. We found majority of our elk in 8000-9000 feet and they...
Congratulations! Unit 38 was the best hunt I've ever had for elk so that's exciting! We had great luck getting into bulls every day and I ended up killing a younger bull on day 5. The area is relatively easy to hike, Elk aren't up super high, and there are lots of them. How are you planning to...
Any information would be helpful. There's only 30 tags total for this unit so I'm surprised to hear your concern about other hunters. Were they mainly mule deer hunters that you were encountering? Did you end up shooting a muley?
Thanks,
Much appreciated! Unfortunately I have limited vacation time and won't be able to do any scouting since I'm out of state. All that advice is helpful and good to know! We're already preparing to have to relocate camp a few times as necessary. Thankfully my dad is 73 but in great shape and has no...
Much appreciated. If you ever burn your points in Wyoming, unit 38 is a great option. We were covered in elk and opportunities. First 30 minutes of our hunt almost had a 360 in our lap. Can't wait to go back there
There is literally only one non resident tag in this unit and my dad and I applied together and both got tags so I would say it's actually not that easy to draw this tag. I understand it's not a primo unit, that's obvious. According to hunting fool we had a 6% chance to draw this tag. What do...
We camped right next to 5barn outfitters and those guys were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the unit. We didn't hire them for our hunt but hung out with them at camp for a couple of nights and they were definitely a good group of guys. They had a good drop camp set up and really got...
Hit me up if you end up drawing the tag. I hunted 76 in '23. Ended up killing a small bull on the last day of the hunt. If I don't respond here. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
Completely understand. We are the only non resident hunters that even drew a tag for this unit. We had less than a 6% chance and will more than likely never hunt this unit ever again. I've hunted unit 76 colorado. Unit 38 wyoming. Mt Dutton in Utah, gravely mountains in Montana, and a couple of...
Much appreciated! Honestly this was a surprise tag that we weren't expecting to get. Our chances were like 7% and this was the third choice tag we had in New Mexico. I spend a lot of time researching units and states and have points or applications in almost every state at any given time. I...
Correct I googled and found this site and thought this might be a good place to ask for advice on this unit. The only other time I've done this is for last year's hunt when I burned 19 points on a tag. A few people reached out and actually called to provide some advice. I already contacted...
Are hunting forums not for asking and giving advice? I'm always willing to help other hunters out in units I've hunted in the past, especially ones that have low draw success or are limited entry units.
You're the one rolling your eyes at me asking for advice on a hunting unit in a hunting forum lol What do you think these hunting forums are for? This isn't the only hunting forum I've joined in the past couple of years. I didn't ask you for help and wouldn't ever ask you for help. Instead of...
