Slim pickings for elk on the North or South units of the NER
And not a Single Buff spotted as they haven't got any snow and this is basically the first cold spell of the winter this year.

That bull probably has scabies (a skin rash/irritation caused by infestation of mites), which is somewhat prevalent in the western portion of Wyoming. It can lead to mortality, although studies have shown it mostly affects the largest bulls more than others, probably due to the increased stress of carrying the top-heavy load. An open winter may spare that bull's life.

I was in JH last week and about 3 weeks ago. The bison were east of slide lake, lots of em. There were just a few in Morman row area, along with 7 very nice bull moose hanging out together. Didn't see many elk on the refuge, but the bighorns are numerous in the Dubois area.

Santered around there this morning. It was 4 degrees on my truck mirror right before daylight. Ton of elk just off the boundary waiting to drop down. Not a really a true elk hunt but heck of a lot of fun. Hunt in the morning till noon get cleaned up and have fun in Jackson Hole rest of day. Saw two elk with that mange. Bull and a cow. Guy told me it was scabies caused by mites. Never saw it before.

Yooper89 no I did not. I brought my wife on long weekend. She loves to hunt and really loves to come here. I would have bought a round or two Robb for sure.

That bison hunt is a different experience. A lot of waiting for them to cross onto the refuge. The scenery including variety of wildlife is worth the trip in itself.

I mountain lion hunted south of JH a few years back. Some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever experienced.

That was me onthe south unit 'wondering around' ! ha with my bow.
What a different year it is this year compared to many of the last years.
12 out of the last 13 years I have drawn a Permission slip..... granted not much of a 'hunt' but a fun 3-4 days in JH and on the NER
Good luck, Robb

You should be calling the Jackson office of G&F almost everyday to check on bison movements. They'll come down with some heavy snow. I watched the Kelly webcam to see when the herd moved down from Mormon Row. Snow shoes are a must when the snow gets deep Good luck, my cow bison was harvested on the 3 rd day of my planned hunt, DIY. Tag and Drag is a must also.

When the elk winter kill or just die they drag them over to this area away from the herds that they are feeding and taking Tourist on the Sleigh rides.
That is what Dave told me about 6-7 years ago. He manages the horses thru out the year.
Good luck, Robb
