I use to do a spot and stalk hunt in Wyoming in the spring. We would usually see one to two bears a week. Tough hunt depending on the weather, shed hunters and other people.
Was looking at the web site Hunters Trailhead. Any feed back on the info they provide. Not sure how accurate the rankings for quality, success rates and access that they post. The draw odds seem to be on by comparing them to States web sites. Just not so sure how they come up with ranking for...
I used tag n drag to get her out. they were great and delivered her to a meat processor in Jackson. Hanging weight of 480lbs. I am getting the head mounted and the rest of the hide tanned hair on. The cows tend to stay on the refuge after leaving the park but the bulls tend to wander onto...
Just returned from my bison hunt in Wyoming. I took a rifle after reading how hard it was to take a cow. All the animals were in the archery/shotgun zone. I ended up borrowing a friends crossbow. I got lucky with a forty yard shot then the work began!

I hunted 444 a few years ago. We hunted a lot of the BLM and National forest that was next to private property. I got a 5x5 elk and a 4 point mule deer. I used the CVA Accura and Power belts. Seemed to be a good combo but then my farthest shot was 21 yards. Good luck!
I applied for a GEN tag as second choice in the special draw. I believe last year it was about 70% chance. Wondering what the odds will be this year as I know a lot of others are doing this more.
Congratulations! Your life is going to change and it's going to come at you at 100 MPH. It truly is a blessing. We had twins two years ago when I was 46. I did miss the last 2 years of hunting but back at this year. Get use to people calling you Grandpa! The Lord works in great ways.
units 70 and 71 have bear and wolf issues. I would check out Mule Shoe Outfitters as they hunt 96 and 97. You could draw these tags as second choice or even leftover.
