At a Glance
Unit 98 is located in Western Wyoming north of Highway 28. The area is known for mature bulls and good success rates. The terrain here allows hunters to glass a lot of area from vantage points that transition from low desert shrub to the high mountains and wilderness. The nonresident DIY hunter will have to pay attention to the wilderness boundary, but there is miles of country outside of the boundary. So no shortage of good areas to hunt.
Good populations of elk reside within this unit. The bigger elk typically come from the more rugged and remote locations. Those willing to put in the work will most likely have a successful hunt.
Quick Tips
- A GPS with land status map is recommended
- Fishing for rainbow, brook and cutthroat trout can be good year round on rivers and lakes
- Snow chains, a shovel and four-wheel drive are recommended during the rifle season
