Elk Hunting in Unit 093

Elk Area 93 spans the Wyoming Range west of La Barge and Big Piney — a legendary elk unit on Bridger-Teton National Forest. Dense lodgepole and spruce-fir timber, high-country basins, and classic western backcountry character. Bulls in the 300-340 class are realistic, and the unit's wilderness components hold mature 350+ bulls for hunters willing to backpack or use horses.

Where to Find Elk in Area 93

Area 93 elk cycle through the Wyoming Range's elevation-driven seasonal pattern.

Archery Season (September)

Bulls hold high in aspen and spruce-fir basins above 9,000 feet. Focus headwaters of the Greys, La Barge Creek, and Fontenelle Creek. Wallows in upper meadows produce consistent rut activity.

Rifle Season (October–November)

Snow pushes elk off the highest country to 7,500-9,000 foot timbered benches. Migration routes toward winter range funnel elk through predictable saddles.

Late Season

Heavy snow triggers major migration. Wintering elk collect on south-facing BLM sage country east of La Barge.

How to Hunt Elk in Area 93

This is a classic western elk hunt — dense timber, high basins, and serious backcountry.

Basin and Ridge Glassing

Upper basins open up for dawn and dusk glassing. Bulls feed on transitional parks and retreat to timber for beds.

Timber Still-Hunting

Dense conifer holds bedded bulls all day. Move slow, with the wind, and glass every opening. Fresh sign tells the story.

Horseback Backcountry

Wyoming Range wilderness is horse country. Outfitters in Big Piney, Afton, and Jackson offer drop camps. Self-guided horse hunters with experience access the best country.

Calling Strategy

Peak rut bugles work in upper drainages. Move to responsive bulls and commit to the wind. Timber makes final approaches tricky — be patient.
