Area 106 in Wyoming presents significant challenges for a DIY hunt due to its patchy public land, comprising only 25% of the area, making it primarily suitable for those with access to private lands or using guide services like R&K outfitters. Hunters report that much of the elk population remains on private lands, with Utah causing a depletion of large bulls before they migrate to this Wyoming unit. While some have had success on private land using guides, public land options are limited and not recommended without thorough research. For hunters considering this unit, using an outfitter or securing private land access is advisable, as relying solely on public access could lead to a disappointing experience given the current elk and deer population challenges.
