This is a good tool to compare to where you are coming from.

Thermopolis: Cheap, but not a tree for a 100 miles.

The leaves on my lawn in Worland beg to differ.

City trees don't count. Neither do junipers.

I read an article today that said Wyoming ranked 11th as the smelliest states. So keep that in mind. I figured we just smell like Utah and Idaho.

A Big Agnes air pad didn't come through did it?

not a tree for a 100 miles.

To be fair, this describes about 70% of wyoming.

What's wrong with junipers!?

They are nice, but they are shrubs, not trees.

Smell like cat pee. 3/10 do not recommend.

Juniper are weeds. Hell, they may as well be Noxious Weeds. To call them trees is an insult to real trees

 

[Carl 9.3x62]

So much juniper hate on here. Sheesh. Haha.

They are nice, but they are shrubs, not trees.

I once found a juniper that was 9 feet in circumference at my waist, 40 foot tall and had twenty foot branches sticking straight out. Sadly if burned up in the big fire of 2000. some where I have pictures. I will try to find them.

That's a big shrub!

The big shrub.
Sorry about the picture quality. Picture has been lying around for 20+ years and my scanner is not working so this is a picture of a picture.

I get moving to wyo for the hunting but picking a place so you aren't exposed to different opinions is kind ludicrous.
This election has been hard on people.

 

[WyoDoug]

Out of curiosity. If one could pick the best town for overall access to great big game hunting, what town would that be?

I would pick Kemmerer or Rawlins if I was picking an area for hunting only. Problem with both is be prepared to hunker down when the snow comes and keep yourself stocked up on groceries and critical stuff.

 

[JLS]

There are a lot of places that would be great if it was only a consideration of the hunting.

Wyoming native here--Couple nice towns that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread are Lander, Pinedale, and Thermopolis. They're not perfect and I'm sure RE is crazy, but I really like visiting these places as I cruise around the state.

Havent lived there but liked Worland, Thermopolis, and even like Cokeville well like hunting near there
