At a Glance
This area is found in the Teton wilderness area near the southeastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park. The entire unit is located within a designated wilderness area and cannot be hunted by nonresidents without an outfitter or registered Wyoming resident guide. The area can be hunted on a Type 9 (archery only) permit or on a General season permit, both allocated through a drawing process. This area provides hunters with good hunting opportunities for mature bulls in hard, remote wilderness terrain. This is big time grizzly country, so proper precautions need to be taken here.
This area is one of the best for general season elk hunts in this state. The area offers a decent chance for hunters to take a mature branch-antlered bull. The rifle hunt generally starts in mid September which gives hunters an opportunity to hunt during the rut.
Quick Tips
- Horses/pack animals highly recommended
- Good summer and fall elk populations, early winter weather can get herds moving
- Check weather forecasts and be prepared for a variety of weather conditions, can include cold snowy conditions
