Hunters discussing Area 67 - Wiggins Fork in Wyoming highlight its challenging terrain, emphasizing the need for physical preparedness and familiarity with the landscape. The area's draw odds are moderately competitive, with seasoned hunters suggesting that scouting and understanding elk and deer behavior during different seasons can enhance success rates. Many find the unit rewarding for those willing to put in the effort, noting that early season hunts may see less pressure and increased game activity. Overall, the feedback underscores the importance of strategic planning and adaptability, offering valuable insights for prospective hunters aiming to maximize their hunting experience in this unit.
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.
