Elk Hunting in Unit 110

Where to Find Elk in Unit 110

Elk in Unit 110 concentrate on Casper Mountain, Muddy Mountain, and the surrounding timbered foothills south of Casper.

Habitat

Elk use the pine timber, aspen draws, and sage transition zones between 6,000 and 8,000 feet across both Casper Mountain and Muddy Mountain. The Muddy Mountain area south of Casper Mountain holds elk in quieter country with less recreational pressure. Private land refuges between the two mountains complicate public land hunting.

Rifle Season

Pressure pushes elk into heavy timber during daylight. Focus on the public land timbered sections and transition edges at first and last light. Muddy Mountain receives less opening-day pressure than Casper Mountain itself. Early-season snow improves elk movement patterns.

How to Hunt Elk in Unit 110

Foothill elk hunting near a major Wyoming city across two mountain complexes.

Casper Mountain Strategy

Casper Mountain's public land timber provides accessible elk habitat. Hunt the edges and transition zones where elk move between bedding timber and feeding areas. Dawn and dusk are critical — elk retreat to heavy timber and private land quickly after sunrise.

Muddy Mountain

Muddy Mountain south of the main Casper Mountain complex receives less hunting pressure. The timbered terrain and sage transition zones here hold elk that see fewer hunters. Access requires more effort but the reduced pressure rewards it.

Pressure Patterns

Use opening-day pressure to your advantage. Position along escape corridors between public and private land. Elk pushed by other hunters funnel through predictable timber saddles and draw bottoms between the two mountains.
