New to the forum, Hello everyone. So my 2 hunting buddies and I are from Western Washington and have been hunting elk together for 16 years. The last 5 have been heart-breaking as we've watched our beloved St.Helens herd waste away with hoof rot. On top of that, Weyerhaeuser, who is likely responsible for said hoof rot, and the owner of most all timbered land in SW WA, decided to lock gates and charge for access. We finally had enough and decided to start hunting out of state. Wyoming was our first choice so we put in as a group to start the point accumulation process. As luck would have it, we were drawn for an area 41-1 tag. None of us have ever hunted WY so any intel on 41 would be greatly appreciated. This is a DYI hunt so we won't have access to the wilderness area. We are bringing quads(not sure if we need them) so will be fairly mobile if need be - but really want to get away from the crowd. We'd rather put miles on our Danner's in other words. None of us are concerned with 300 plus bulls, just a nice mature one. Any info on where to camp, general area to hunt, nearest diesel, water, supplies, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Will trade Columbia, Cowlitz River salmon secrets if interested. Thanks
