![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Area 54-1: The elk hunt in Area 54 is certainly no secret.Due to the extremely high hunter success, massive area, favorably long season and easy terrain this hunt scores a perfect 100 out of 100 again this year. The first two weeks of the hunt here will still see some heavy rutting action and the bowhunt in here is about as good as it gets in Wyoming. The bull to cow ratio here is extremely high and the herd continues to expand into the masses of desert terrain in this massive elk unit. The bulls in here are generally in the 300 to 340 range. This is the easiest elk hunt in the state of Wyoming but finding a true giant here can be very tough on most years. A stealer 95% hunter success average on branch antlered bulls is very hard to argue with on this hunt. This hunt will still take max points to have a good chance at a tag here, however with the new higher quota there are a few tags available in the random draw which for low point holders looking for a lightning strike on something very lucky this tag would be a great long shot option. With a newly increased quota to 200 bull tags instead of the historic 100, this hunt is a tick easier to draw as of recently. Area 100-1: As usual, the Area 100 elk hunt hits the list due to its nearly perfect track record in almost every measurable element.This hunt scores a perfect 100/100 due to the limited nature, huge bull potential and very solid hunter success track record. Hunter success here hovers around the 70% mark which is pretty high for a hunt of this type. Max points is a necessity to even think about this hunt, there are no random tags in the draw for this hunt however. This hunt area is extremely rough and you should expect to have to use horses on this hunt. Too much snow and you can get back to the bulls, not enough snow and the bulls will stay nearly too high to get to. This area is known for massive bulls if you get the perfect weather window to work with. With only 10 tags available on quota this hunt is a late season migration type hunt with season dates the first two weeks of November. Area 59-1: Put into the right hands, this hunt has all the makings of big bull greatness, if the weather cooperates.

Note: As soon as the hunter success numbers are release I will “re-grade” the elk hunts in Wyoming with any corresponding changes. As long as the moisture cooperates this fall should be another solid year for Wyoming bull elk hunters. The bulls should be wintering out very well putting them in great shape for a spring green up. So far, the winter has been extremely mild with very little moisture. The elk hunt season in Wyoming seemed to be very average with horn growth being off a touch due to the very hot and dry summer we experienced. Although the hunter success survey results for the 2020 hunting season have yet to be released I fully expect to see little change in unit ratings versus last year. The elk herd in Wyoming continues to be very stable and healthy. ![]()
