Elk Hunting in Unit 095

Elk Area 95 sits in the Upper Green River country on the west slope of the Wind River Range — deep timber, alpine basins, and aspen pockets draining toward the Green River. Three-year records show 57 applicants against 147 tags. Area 95 overlaps the Bridger Wilderness along its eastern edge, which carries the non-resident guide requirement under Wyoming law. We hunt Area 95 as a serious backcountry elk unit — quality bulls are here for hunters willing to pack in.

Where to Find Elk in Area 95

Elk in Area 95 use the high country during early season and migrate off the Wind River west slope toward the Green River drainage as snow accumulates.

Archery Season (September)

Bulls hold in the spruce-fir stringers and alpine basins between 9,000 and 10,500 feet on the Bridger Wilderness edge. Wallows in high meadows concentrate bulls during rut.

Rifle Season (October)

Elk drop into middle-elevation timber on northwest-facing slopes between 8,000 and 9,500 feet as rifle pressure builds. We focus on benches above the Green River and its tributaries.

Late Season / Migration

The Upper Green is a major migration corridor. Late snow pushes elk toward lower winter range — we pre-scout pinch points and travel routes and ride the storms.

How to Hunt Elk in Area 95

We hunt Area 95 as a backcountry pack-in — the best bulls live deep, and day-tripping does not work here.

Pack-In Spike Camp

Set camp on a bench at 9,000 feet with water and timber cover, and hunt adjacent basins from there. Horses help enormously on the pack-out.

Basin Glassing

Glass alpine basin edges at dawn and dusk. Bulls stage where timber meets alpine grass — a spotting scope from a ridge saves days of walking.

Migration Ambush

During storm cycles, elk commit to predictable travel corridors down the west slope. We identify the main saddles and drainage heads and sit pinch points during migration days.

Wyoming's non-resident draw runs 75/25 — 75% preference-point and 25% random weighted by bonus points. Area 95 typically draws with 2-4 preference points in the Regular license pool, with Special tags a touch lower. Important: Area 95 overlaps the Bridger Wilderness along its eastern boundary, and W.S. 23-2-401 requires non-resident hunters inside a Wyoming designated wilderness to be accompanied by a licensed outfitter or a Wyoming-resident guide. Verify your planned hunt location against the wilderness boundary before applying.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a pronghorn tag in Wyoming Hunt Area 095?

Apply through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's online application system during the posted application window. Tags are allocated through a preference-point draw with resident and non-resident quotas.

What regulations apply to hunting pronghorn in Hunt Area 095?

Consult the current WGFD regulation brochure for season dates, legal methods of take, boundaries, and harvest reporting requirements before the hunt.

Is Area 95 inside a designated wilderness for the Wyoming guide law?

Yes, in part. Area 95 overlaps the Bridger Wilderness along its eastern boundary. Under W.S. 23-2-401, non-resident hunters inside a Wyoming designated wilderness must be accompanied by a licensed outfitter or a Wyoming-resident guide. If your planned hunt stays on the non-wilderness side of the boundary, you can hunt unguided — verify the line on a current MVUM and wilderness map before the trip.

How many preference points do I need for Area 95 elk?

Non-resident Area 95 elk tags typically draw with 2-4 preference points in the Regular license pool. Special licenses usually draw one point lower. The 25% random pool gives low-point applicants occasional shots.
