I usually hunted area 67 up the long creek drainage. We always had good success up there. The last time we were up there we shot three elk in 4 hours of each other on the second day of rifle season. Could never get close enough with the bow.

RE: wyoming elk tag
gotlost, I have worked & lived in Wyoming since October-10th of 2005. I could have bought a resident license on October-11th last year & been 100% legal. I opted to apply for a non-resident general license last year.Then ifI had the spare time, I could archery hunt? I did not have the time to hunt during the archery season. I only had time for 5-days of general rifle season hunting. Two of the five days I saw elk but could not get a shot. The otherthree daysI saw nothing.

RE: wyoming elk tag
This must be fairly new. You are correct sir! You can hunt any area in Wyoming during that areas general tag regs and dates.
So......
I'm in Cheyeoming and am most familiar with S.E. Wyo. I hunt the Medicine Bow (Snowy Range) Mtns and the Sierra Madres. Lots of elk in both, if you are willing to hunt. A lot of guys prefer the Sierra Madres because there is more open sage covered ridges, points, and high spots which does make it easier to spot and stalk. The Snowy's however, are more forrested with thick to thicker connifers. Plenty of open parks and clear cuts, but still more difficult to "see" the elk.
You are going for Archery, so you have all of September in any of those hunt areas; 9, 10, 12, 110, (Snowy's). And 13, 15, 21 in the Sierra Madres.
For archery, I prefer an area around Fox Park. In the southern portion of Snowy's. Always seem to bo elk around if you can get to them. You'll hear them, smell them, and watch them from afar, but maybe get a shot at one. From there, I float around depending on weather, hunter pressures, etc out to Pelton Creek, Platte Ridge, Illinois creek, 4 corners, Muddy Mountain, and more. Per-scouting has a lot to do with where I concentrate my efforts.
If you have a choise, I would recommend the week of 10th- 15th. Labor day is over, and the bulls are really getting the hirmones kicked in. You also stand a better chance of avoiding one of our infamous mid-to-late September snow storms!
I could go on & on . . . back to work. Get good topo maps. PraCTICE UP TO 50 YARD SHOTS.
