[QUOTE="jtillman, post: 235230, member: 904"] I hunt in the area you are looking at (SW of Gillette). There are a handful of things you should know before applying to hunt there: 1. Make sure you have a spot to hunt [I]before [/I]applying for a tag in a unit. Public land is out there in those areas, but far less accessible on the Western portion of the state. 2. You will very unlikely get access to private property without paying a trespass fee. Maybe you'll get lucky, but nearly every person that I know or have run into in that area pays a trespass fee. You are looking at $400-600/person. BUT it can get access to a LOT of land....but it may not be on the weekend you want. 3. Either we have been very lucky....but I think it's an easy draw in that area. 4. In the general vicinity that we hunt, most of the landowners are pretty cautious on who they let in (lots of livestock scattered). The landowners that we go with only allow a couple of small groups at a time on their land, and it sounds like that's what many of the other local landowners do as well. 5. You should see lots of nice bucks, but the real trophies will be more West. 6. As far as landowner contacts....my best advice is to get out there and talk with land owners before the season. Some like visitors and some don't (just like anyplace else I guess). Gives the cautious landowners an opportunity to get to know you before lining the final details up. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
