I hunted R a few years ago when I first started hunting western states. I found a couple decent bucks on the walk in areas near shell. The only spots that seemed to hold any deer on the lower elavations were the irrigated private land. Thinking I had a good plan I went out the opening morning and walked a couple miles into the center of the walk in area in the dark. As the sun began to show itself I was surrounded by vehicles, one even drove within a 100 yards of me. Both bucks were pushed to private land by all the traffic.
Hunted up in the mountains the rest of the hunt. Most people shot young bucks, the biggest one was about 160. My group shot three little ones. Tasted good.
If I went again I would have stayed longer and hunted the walk in areas or tried to get access to private land.
Nice country, lots of hunters and good place to hunt. If your trophy hunter there are some nice bucks, at least I see them during the summer.
