WY Elk Unit 11 — Medicine Bow River

WY 11 — Medicine Bow River. Terrain & Access Unit 11 spans 443,224 acres across the Medicine Bow Range with substantial elevation variation—from 6,545 ft to nearly 12,000 ft. This vertical relief creates diverse habitat from lower-elevation timber and riparian corridors to high alpine basins and ridgelines. Public land comprises 38% of the unit, making private-land access critical for hunt planning. The patchwork of public and private ownership requires careful route planning and willingness to negotiate permission or work with local knowledge to maximize huntable terrain. Herd Quality Wildlife surveys show an average/well-managed bull:cow ratio of 29:100..
