Area 7 is a conundrum. I live southwest of the area and it is basically a doughnut of private land with some national forest in the middle. Additionally, this unit is riddled with CWD. My biologist neighbor shot a bull on the Wheatland side of the area a handful of years ago. The bull looked healthy but did test positive, He had to destroy the entire carcass and his words not mine “ I know enough that I would never let my family eat it”. 7 is a potential trophy area with a number of challenges. I know I haven’t really answered the outfitter question but felt compelled to share potential pitfalls if the area. I’ve lived in Laramie since 2007 and will not hunt area 7 for the above reason. Wyoming Game and Fish can turn tests around quickly, but it’s something to keep in mind. Not trying to start a boogie man argument, just sharing some local perspective. Good luck with your outfitter search.
