Securing access to private lands can greatly increase the odds of success on this hunt
Quality optics can make a big difference
The larger unit is found in the extreme northwest corner of the state and lies along the Wyoming and South Dakota state lines. This is one of the more notable elk units in the state and this unit has been sought after by applicants for years. A great distribution of public lands are found in this unit, but generally speaking, most elk activity occurs on private lands. Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime harvest for residents, many lucky tag holders opt to hire outfitters to ensure private access.
Bulls can grow quite large in this area but the lack of public hunting opportunities can make things tough. Consider hiring an outfitter to ensure private access to lands holding elk.
