You will have zero problem gaining access on Fort Creek private property with just 1-2 door knocks. Don't expect to hunt opening day, but you will be able to get onto private land and the BLM with little or no trespass fee during the 2nd week of the season. I don't want to say who the landowner is, but suffice to say a little homework will be necessary. No free leads from me, but it should be no problem. 2nd question: Why hunt a spot that only has 250 elk on 100,000 acres? And some of the country they live in is absolutely nasty/thick/steep juniper country that no 4-wheeler access is allowed...and the horse access is questionable due to the severe steep country. Eastman's is merely going on the steep draw odds assuming it's a sweet spot. Same with the Rochelle's.....steep draw odds makes it a premier unit?!? There are 60:100 bulls on the unit, and surely a 370" somewhere, but I'd bet that bull is tucked away on super private/$6,000+ trespass fee ranch!
