Nothing wrong with attempting to make a go of it on your own. I highly suggest a good GPS with Huntmaps Wyoming loaded on it.
As others have said, the unit is a nightmare tangle of public and private land. I despise that unit so much, if you gave me an elk tag there, I would give it back. Drives me insane to even hunt turkeys in that unit.
I would plan on several scouting trips during the summer.
Good luck on your hunt.
