Wyoming Elk Unit 56

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Wyoming Game Management Unit 56.

Unit 56 drops you into the raw Absaroka volcanic high country of northwest Wyoming, roughly 15 to 30 miles southwest of Cody, where nearly 6,000 feet of relief separates the North Fork and South Fork of the Shoshone valleys from the alpine divide above 12,000 feet. This is elk country almost entirely inside the Shoshone National Forest, with foot-and-horse-only Wilderness that naturally thins pressure the deeper you push. Our data pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary tracking how animals shift from high seeps onto the timbered transition benches. 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.
