The problem with the "easy tags" in Wyoming is that they are sold to you for areas that fall into 1 of 2 categories.
#1 is land you can't get access to without paying outrageous fees or
#2 land you can't get into without a lot of time or a good horse, and sometimes both ----- and that land also has the highest concentration of Grizzlies in the world per square mile (more then any place in Alaska, Canada or Russia)
Going into the "Wilderness areas' is an excellent way to find elk and get one shot, but then you have 7-15 miles to bring it out. If you stay overnight you have bear problems and wolves. If you try to come right out you have time problems making the mileage before it gets dark. If you bring out some of it and go back the next day or 2, you find the bears and wolves have taken anything you left behind.
So I have to tell my friends the truth and say don't go for the "easy tags' Just apply for the good areas where you can get in and out and still get elk, and if you only draw ever 3 years, then that's just how it is. Easy tags mean hard to impossible hunts------- or in some cases hunts that cost as much as a fully guided hunt but you get no guide for that money.
