Yeah that may happen. We have a good relationship with the guides out there since my family hunted with them twice now and IF they have the time they would help pack out for a fee. I may be able to get someone, Dad or brother or a friend to come out also. Everyone else only has 3 points.- Laurel Highlands

It was pretty gnarly but there were areas that were not that bad. Hunting the dry creek and cottonwood creek areas east of Afton/Smoot.

One way to rifle hunt those state lands is understand where hunters come in from, and then find places where they will push deer to. Acorns are key in the fall, until the rut then you hunt...- Laurel Highlands

Planning 2025 Elk hunt
Sub'd, I am also considering an elk hunt in 2025 western Wyoming star valley (Afton/smoot) and the Bridger-teton forest. I hunted this area in 2018 with a guide and group, but did not get an elk then. I now have 5 points and am debating whether to try myself or go with the guide again. I have...- Laurel Highlands
