Many highlight the value of understanding draw odds and planning well in advance to secure tags. Seasonal shifts impact wildlife patterns, suggesting that timing your hunt according to game behavior can enhance success rates. Insightful comments recommend familiarizing oneself with the area’s diverse geography for a strategic approach to spotting and stalking game.
Unit 118 is located south-west of Meeteetse. Rugged BLM land makes up the majority of the unit with a small section National Forest in the south-west corner. This is a limited quota area for both residents and nonresidents.
Being a limited quota area, there will be low hunter densities on this hunt. The two week late October season will let you hunt quality bucks on their migration routes from the high country to the lower ground. Whitetail bucks are found in low elevations.
