Wyoming Elk Unit 38

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Wyoming Game Management Unit 38.

Unit 38 crowns the northern Bighorns, a wet, forested plateau above 8,000 feet that levels into subalpine parks before shearing into canyons like Shell Canyon and the Tongue River drainages. For elk, that high country is the productivity engine: snowmelt water in the North and South Tongue forks and Shell Creek, lush grasses and sedges in the parks, and a hard vertical push toward the dry basin fringe as frosts arrive. Our pack breaks it down across Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
