My son and I have 9 deer preference points for Wyoming. We have never hunted out of Oregon before, but looking forward to it. My wife and I both have Long Term Covid Symptoms and we get exhausted quickly but hoping to get to Wyoming soon and look for some possible area's to hunt in the future. I know it is a big state and would appreciate any suggestions on areas to check out. It would be nice to be able to hunt an area where there are a few deer and some nice bucks.
Looking for an area with public or access to private available. I don't have a computer other than my phone and have not made much sense out of the online information. When I called and requested written regs and info on the land owner access program I was told it was all online and they do mot send written.
I had fair health for my age (70 this June) before covid and hope to get that back. Just retired and not getting any younger. Not interested in the real steep pack in areas. 20 years too late for that.
The friend I had that suggested we should apply for points in Wyoming has passed. He was going to show me areas to check out since he had hunted Wyoming numerous times. But that is not going to happen now.
I would like to get familiar with the area we plan to hunt. Maybe even an antelope hunt before the deer hunt.
I would appreciate any suggestions of areas to visit and get familiar with. Names and numbers of biologist, wardens and/or landowners that I could call would be greatly received. We have muzzle loaders if an area requires that or conventional rifles are also available.
Most of my hunting has been on the west, brushy side of the state for Blacktails and have never had the time to learn the different hunting methods. Most of my deer have been taken while walking slow on old logging roads. Mostly forked horns and a couple 3 points. Nothing of size. I have never done much glassing but have read that method works well on the large sage brush flats and am willing to try that.
Any suggestions or leads will be greatly appreciated
I would like to wish all of the forum members and families a very Safe, Prosperous and Happy New Year
