It was here that Roosevelt was referring to when he wrote his Sister Anna exclaiming “the woods fairly rang with my shouting when I brought down my first lordly bull, with great branching antlers” –Theodore Roosevelt September 20, 1884 Letter to Anna
This historic location still holds the makings of your own story just as Roosevelt did long ago. WTA TAGS has teamed up with one of Wyoming’s premier outfitters to help you conduct this hunt of a lifetime. With a small hike you will settle into base camp where you will be set up in a fantastic wall tent style camp. Depending on where the Elk are concentrated you could be hunting from 4×4 vehicles, as well as horseback to make sure you are in the best areas to be successful. With bulls averaging over 300 inches this is a great opportunity to harvest an Elk of a lifetime.
Whether you are an archery hunter or rifle, Unit 45 offers tags for both seasons, and can be typically drawn with as few as 6 preference points.
