I was just curious if anyone has hunted unit 16 for archery elk and what they thought of the hunt.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-28-14 AT 06:24PM (MST)[p]I archery hunted area 16 this last season. The numbers of elk are high but the trophy quality was somewhat disappointing. Lots of hunters that appear to be new to the sport, some walking the woods with electronic elk calls are crossbows... A few 340 to 370 bulls are taken each year however a 300 to 320 is a much more realistic expectation. There are better areas that produce higher numbers of large bulls and offer better drawing odds, in my opinion.
