Here's a photo of the chalk board at the Greys River (Alpine) Check Station. At the time, Deer Season was closed, but Elk season was open. Photo date was 19 October 05.
Soooo, the stats tell me a trophy quest in Areas G and H is over, kaput, nada. I asked the census taker about the quality of the "30 inch and over bucks" and he said, they were all typical and spindly horned. When I asked for a probable cause of the poor results, his answer was I don't really know (or I'm not allowed to speculate).
I hunted the opener of Area G off of Smiths Fork road as well (no checkstation there) and my assessment of what I saw and the results of others coincedes with Area H results.
If the hunting pressure in Area H consists of 1200 non-resident hunters (allowed by FG) and approx three times that for residents (3600), you have 5000 hunters in the field for 60 bucks taken.
