Where to Find Elk in Elk Hunt Area 67
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names elk hunt area 67 "Wiggins Fork", though its own map layer still labels it Wigins Fork. It runs to about 700 square miles, entirely in Fremont County. WGFD reports these elk as the Wiggins Fork herd unit, which also takes in elk hunt areas 68, 69 and 127. What WGFD publishes for the area is its boundary and its harvest; where the elk stand inside it is our reading of the ground, and the two are kept apart below.
The line: Wind River and East Fork
WGFD's 2026 Chapter 7 defines elk hunt area 67 as all of the drainage of the Wind River that lies north of U.S. Highway 287 and west of the Wind River Reservation and those areas of the Spence and Moriarity Wildlife Management Area east of the East Fork of the Wind River. Read it as the legal edge of your license rather than as a hint about animals. The full text is in Section 9 of that chapter, with this year's season dates and license limitations in Section 2.
Not the same ground as the other hunt area 67s
WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 67 also belongs to its deer and antelope hunt areas 67. Only the antelope area shares a county with this one. A license is good only in the hunt area of its own species, so this page is about the elk area, and the cards at the foot of the page link the others.
Ground WGFD opens: Kirk Inberg/Kevin Roy and Spence & Moriarity
WGFD administers 2 Wildlife Habitat Management Areas inside or across the line, including Kirk Inberg/Kevin Roy (17,280 acres) and Spence & Moriarity (35,872 acres). Public Access Areas such as Wind River-Painted Hills and Wind River-Landen (1 acres) are public ways onto water and land; check what each allows before you count on it for hunting.
Wilderness inside the line: Washakie Wilderness
About 36% of elk hunt area 67 lies in the Washakie Wilderness. WGFD's 2026 regulations print the rule that matters there: no nonresident may hunt big game in a designated wilderness area unless accompanied by a licensed professional guide or a resident guide, with at least one guide for every two nonresident hunters. Inside the wilderness there are no roads, so every animal there comes out on your back or on a horse.
High ground inside the line: Dollar Mountain, Mount Burwell and Wiggins Peak
Named high points inside elk hunt area 67 include Dollar Mountain at 12,326 feet, Mount Burwell at 12,293 feet, Wiggins Peak at 12,130 feet, The Ramshorn at 11,902 feet and Raggedtop Mountain at 11,815 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Elk want timber to bed in and open ground to feed on, within a short walk of each other.
Holding ground: Black Canyon, Bear Pass and Basin Creek Meadows
Below them sit Black Canyon at 9,626 feet, Bear Pass at 9,454 feet, Basin Creek Meadows at 9,384 feet, Bull Elk Pass at 9,355 feet and Amoretti Park at 9,158 feet. Those are the basins and bottoms of the area, and they are what you glass into from above.
Unit 067 terrain and land status
Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up · figures are for GMU 67
The lay of it
- 7,076–10,685 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 8,869 ft ; peaks can run higher.
- 698.6 sq mi inside the boundary.
Who owns the ground
- National Forest — 60%
- BLM — 15%
- State Trust — 8%
- Private / Other — 17%
Roughly 83% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.
Water on the ground
- 116 tanks
- 457 stream segments
- 21 lakes
Counts from mapping data, so this is how many exist, not how many hold water in a dry year. Sitting water only pays where you find fresh tracks.
Named features inside the unit
Glass from: Dollar Mountain (12,326 ft), Mount Burwell (12,293 ft), Wiggins Peak (12,130 ft), The Ramshorn (11,902 ft)
Holding ground: Burwell Pass (11,298 ft), Bowles Pass (10,791 ft), Cougar Pass (10,756 ft), Spence & Moriarity WHMA, Kirk Inberg/Kevin Roy WHMA
Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.
How to Hunt Elk in Elk Hunt Area 67
Elk Success Rates
Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest report estimates 42.9% elk success in elk hunt area 67: 953 animals taken by 2,224 active hunters over 17,814 days of hunting, or 18.7 days per animal. By residency, residents 40.5% (702 taken by 1,732) and nonresidents 51% (251 taken by 492).
These are WGFD's own estimates from its hunter survey, for this hunt area and season only — not a statewide average. One season isn't a trend, so check the current report before you read one into it.
Elk Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle — General Type 4 antlerless (resident) | 378 | 442 | 85.5% | — |
| Rifle — General Type 4 antlerless (nonresident) | 18 | 0 | 100.0% | — |
| Archery — Type 9 either sex (resident) | 126 | 29 | 100.0% | — |
| Archery — Type 9 either sex (nonresident) | 3 | 78 | 3.8% | — |
Data from 2026 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.
Open in Draw Odds EngineWyoming Game and Fish's 2026 demand report for elk in elk hunt area 67, residents and nonresidents kept apart because they draw from different license pools:
- Type 4 (antlerless elk), residents: 442 first-choice applicants for 378 licenses, 85.5% drawn
- Type 9, nonresidents: 78 first-choice applicants for 3 licenses, 3.8% drawn
- Type 9, residents: 29 first-choice applicants for 126 licenses, 100% drawn
Wyoming residents draw elk licenses without preference points; nonresidents draw part of their quota on points, highest balance first (Chapter 44, Section 19), and the nonresident figures above are from WGFD's random draw. WGFD publishes no preference-point level at which a hunt draws, so none is given here. Every figure was checked against WGFD's demand-report PDFs on 2026-08-10.
