Cow tags are also a good idea for a new hunter out west, cow elk that is. Tags are additional tags and random draw. Most areas with cow tags have early seasons for them, and later seasons as well.
Antelope need a few PP to draw a good area but some tags are given via the random draw in all areas. 45 is right here in Laramie and does have some public land to hunt. It gets hunted hard but good bucks can be found. I took a B&C buck in 45 many years ago.
Doe antelope tags can also be had for cheap and up to 4 total including leftovers.
Our general elk areas are just fine for elk hunters. Less pressure than Colorado OTC.
A good tent and reliable transportation is needed for mountain hunting. I turn my cell phone off while in the woods, no need for it.
A GPS is a must in Wyoming, or onX sub. for your phone.
Hunting the NF is very much like hunting your woods, except farther from home and higher elevation.
Plan your trip with a good friend and come up and try it. Be prepared to shoot a cow elk when it presents itself. Lots of folks want a big bull and go home empty handed because they think elk hunting is like in videos. You need to shoot the elk that gives you a shot: cow, spike or big bull.
Fall fishing is great for spawning trout and grouse hunting in the forest is a blast too.
