I am curious what you guys think. My wife and I are going to retire next year and we will start burning the points we have built up. We started one year too late so we are one under max. Doing my research there is plenty of information on unit 24 but very little on unit 1. We can only eat one elk a year so we will take turns and hunt a unit in back to back years. We would like to hunt branch bulls but they do not have to be monsters, nothing wrong with 280" 6 points. We would like to day hunt from a base camp (trailer). We are in OK shape for our age but really do not want to kill a elk more than a mile from the truck.
Having said all that I would love to know your thoughts. We will bowhunt first then rifle hunt. Unit 1 has a two week gap between seasons. My wife would like to see some of South Dakota anyway so that is not to big a deal. I think both bow hunts would be enjoyable but the rifle hunt in 24 can get pretty crowded. Unit 1 is a small unit, how crowded does it feel during the rifle season. Thanks in advance
