[M.T. Pockets]

I've hunted Pacific Creek too, plenty of grizz and now wolves too. I've also hunted the Arizona Creek area as well.

I've also hunted the Spread Creek area just South of Togotee and the Fall Creek area not far from Hoback.

This last fall I packed into the Thorofare over the Deer Creek pass. That was an experience, 12 hours in the saddle each way if you don't have a wreck. I was surprised at how busy that area is for being so remote. There was no shortage of hunters even waaaaay back in there by the Yellowstone boundary. Plenty of grizzly bears and wolves there too. I saw the least elk by far of any trip to Wyoming in this area and the bulls were not bugling during the week of Sept. 20th even though conditions were perfect with a cold snap and a foot of new snow.

I enjoy hunting Wyoming, but I'm afraid I'm priced out of it now. The non-resident license is over $900 and the areas I like require hiring a guide. I'm not complaining, it's just the way it is, there are plenty of other non-resident hunters that will pay it, I just can't do it again.

I've been treated well by all of the resident hunters I've encountered except one. I enjoy the country and people of Wyoming a lot and will return on vacations. I may be able to come back on a cow elk hunt in an area that does not require a guide, but I'm very glad that I have been able to hunt bulls in your state and have taken 3 bulls. I've been in amongst some mighty big bulls during the bugle, I've seen and smelled grizzly bears and I even had a big old timberwolf trot in front of me. I've seen B&C class moose & sheep too. Good luck to you and I hope you have many good years of hunting in your future. Don't take living in your state for granted and don't let a season get by you.
