Hunters discussing Area 116 in Meeteetse, Wyoming, emphasize the challenging terrain and weather conditions, recommending thorough scouting and preparation for successful hunts. The unit is noted for its varied landscape, offering opportunities for both elk and deer, but requires understanding animal movement and patterns, particularly in response to seasonal changes. Many hunters suggest timing hunts to align with migrations, as this increases chances of spotting game. Overall, the consensus highlights the importance of blending local insights with personal scouting to enhance the hunting experience in this region.
This unit has private agriculture lands at lower elevation, along the Greybull and Wood Rivers. You will run into BLM land and public access as you gain elevation into the foothills. This is a limited quota area for both residents and nonresidents.
Being a limited quota area with tags tough to obtain, 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 to the lower ground. Quality whitetail bucks are found in low elevations.
