Sounds like a typical unit 19 hunt. People everywhere......you did good in the end though.

That's a tough hunt. Lots of points to shoot a 5 point or small 6. I've been in there. LOTS of better units. Hard to believe how many points it now takes for some of those WY units. Guess guys are afraid of bears or they want to hunt from home in Casper

I hunted unit 19 this past season and am happy to share what I learned with anyone that draws in the future. James

Hey man, my dad is hoping to draw the tag this season. I would love to hear how your hunt went and any preparations we need to make before heading into the hunt. Thanks!

Congratulations nice rack. you must have been closer to camp and flatter ground than mine, after 2 mile hike out then 4 miles just to go get the truck. The last thing I wanted to do is put that heavy SOB back on my back. Lol

Thanks I was so dam happy to shoot one with my bow I would have done anything. I only had 2 pack him 2 miles 4 different times. Did you hunt 19 and how was your hunt?

Lots of private, lots of people. Casper residents can hunt it before/after work it's so close. If you drew the late tag plan some extra days as you can lose some to nasty nasty weather that time of year.

If you can get access to private, I would. Big ranch on the east side of the unit does what they can to keep elk on their pl

Thanks

Dan, do you have any good info on access in the area? I drew a type one tag this fall and am scouting it out. I'd be thankful for any information.

Wyoming was a much tougher hunt than I anticipated. I went down for 5 days in mid September, I could not believe the number of people and camps in September. It was the most crowded hunting I have ever had. I had trouble finding elk but did call in a decent bull a bit bigger than the one I shot and somehow couldn’t get the deal sealed. I went back for the opener of rifle 11-1 and scouted 2 days prior to the season finding very few elk some days no elk fortunately there were way fewer people. I had hoped for a better bull than this but given the difficulty in finding elk I decided I better take the opportunity when I saw this bull on the 5th day of the season.View attachment 167449

You have any info on access or direction to head? HMAs? I drew a type one tag this fall and would be thankful for any and all information you felt like sharing
