This will be my fourth trip in the last six years. I have been successful the previous three hunts, but it was hard hunting.
I had to back out last year at the last minute. Most everybody in my party got their deer, but it was tough. Most the deer were up high last year. Two years before, they were down low.
Depending on your voucher, you can hunt the entire unit, others you have to hunt the ranch of which the voucher was issued through.
On another note, last year everybody in the hunting party who had an elk tag punched their ticket (7 elk). Two of the three hunts, I had opportunities to bag an elk, but couldn't close the deal. Some years they are thick, other years lean....you never know. Elk tags are over counter, so it is something you might also consider.
Best of luck on your son's hunt.
