Hunters discussing Area 67 - Wiggins Fork, Wyoming, generally remark on the challenging terrain and the necessity of being well-prepared for varying weather conditions. Many emphasize the importance of proper scouting, as knowing the area beforehand can significantly improve hunting success. Seasonality affects game patterns, with some hunters pointing out that elk tend to move at higher elevations in early seasons and drop lower as snow falls. A common sentiment is that patience and persistence, coupled with strategic planning regarding draw odds, can yield a rewarding hunting experience.
This unit is made up of the scenic mountains within the Shoshone National Forest, on the eastern side of the Wind River Range. Located just north of Dubois Wyoming, unit 67 is made up of BLM, National forest and wilderness. There is plenty of ground available for the DIY nonresident hunter to hunt. With that comes a lot of vehicle access, as well as trailheads if pack-in hunts are what you are looking for. This unit holds a good number of animals and those who are willing to put in the work, will find success. I wouldn't consider this unit to be filled with grizzly's, but it should definitely be taken into consideration.
This area is steep and rugged, but elk can be found all over. This is a big unit with plenty of country to hunt. This is a good place for hunters to take some good bulls. Horses can be beneficial for this hunt.
