You could get by with a 2wd only place 4wd is required is the guided impact area hunts. But a 4wd is recommended in my opinion for rougher terrain and when weather dictates.(I.E. sloppy wet conditions) But there are a lot of areas to hunt off the better maintained roads that you could get by without one.

I am the chief guide for area 45/46 until they started to put the wide roads down through the middle of 46 you were not getting in there without 4x4 after a rain storm. There are still parts where the big are along table rock creek that you want get in without a good 4x4 that you are not afraid to use. Just a few of the things that has happened in the past during rainy and muddy season I dropped my right front tire in one of those good old rock holes did a number on my fender. One assistant has a jeep Cherokee he has lost a front half shaft and had a few other things but he does not baby his beast. Keep in mind when we guide we are putting out 6-8 hunters and trying to get to our own stand. Had another assistant who has an avalanche lost his transmission year before last? The last assistant has a small pickup and he lost his front end last year. We all have 4x4 and last year it was so muddy in my area my truck spent more time in 4x4 then 2wd.
As popparoach said the Regs only require for you to have 4x4 in the impact area. But to get back in the thick of the good hunting you 2 choices 4x4 or walking. In area 53 along Cow House creek if it rains you will not get in to those misquote trees without a 4x4 and a good rope.
