Tough and remote? Not really, not in that unit anyways. Pretty flat and desolate out there, easy walking as we put it. There just happened to be no roads around where I got this one. We have got ones in the past out there and been able to drive right to them. This is a poor elk unit for here though, not alot around and sometimes it seems like none are around. Very little natural water is left anymore, no pine or aspens or fir trees other than a few pinyons up high and lots of rock piles. Most of the elk rely on stock ponds and steel cattle drinkers with windmills throughout the year. We have several units around here that are what I think Idaho would be like. Big steep thick country with lots of firs, oak, manzanita, aspens, pines, talus slides, cienagas and what not, it is just hard to draw those tags down here, but they usually produce good bulls when you can get a tag in one of those units. The units up by Flagstaff are mostly pine/junipers with open grassland and they grow some big ones up there too, I have never hunted there though. Anyways, thanks for the comments guys.
