Hunters in Wyoming's Area 93 around Waterdog Lakes share a mix of experiences that highlight the region's challenges and opportunities. The terrain is rugged, making access difficult, but those familiar with the area find success by planning for tough hikes and using knowledge of local elk migration patterns. Seasonality impacts game behavior significantly, with many hunters noting better results later in the season when elk are more active. There’s a general sentiment that persistence and adaptability in strategy, particularly regarding timing and positioning relative to seasonal movements and weather conditions, are key to a successful hunt.
This unit is made up of scenic mountains in the Bridger-Teton National Forest near the western edge of the state. There is a small part of the Gros Ventre Wilderness Area here.
This area is rugged and steep near the forested parts of the unit, with elk usually found all over. This is a smaller-sized unit with some good country to hunt, and is a good place for hunters to take branch-antlered bulls.
