That unit was once the premier unit in the state. It does not have the impressive genes of some other units, but it can not be beat as far as a "Utah wilderness" experience. It is ROADLESS so getting a bull out of that country without meat spoilage requires ponies (or a posse of 10 young packers).
Thirty plus years ago I went in there on the opener with two family members who had tags. It was so hot we slept under the stars and half uncovered. We had two Rodeos with borrowed horses and the elk were silent. In three days, I did not see a single elk and we came out with our tails between our legs.
Much of our lack of success was due to inexperience and poor luck. Regardless, that kind of trip is an adventure. But some years when elk go silent, it can be tough anywhere.
I'm sure with the help you are getting here, your experience will be much better than ours.
Best of luck and keep us posted.
