Backcountry horse hunts

[Gator]

Where or what unit would you choose to do a back country horse hunt in, one that would get you in far enough to be one of the few to be there. Archery or Rifle.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-06-09 AT 01:06PM (MST)[p]Hey Gator, One thing i might do is to consider an area that you might want to get in some scouting for a later premium hunt. Not sure about you but i've been putting in for Lopes, elk and sheep from day one and am maxed on points. If you put in for...say Elk every year in a certain area, you might want to make a deer hunt in that area just so you'll better know the country ahead of time for when you do draw that Elk tag. Something to consider anyway. Good luck buddy!!

The Warner Mtns Wilderness might be worth looking into.

I have drawn and hunted X5b and X9B both great units but not horse country, Me I'm one down on points drew X9B the first year of points. I was thinking like X8 or X10

I would be more inclined to pack in from D7 on the West side to the Crest. Or possibly D6 from Leavitt Meadows to the Kennedy Canyon Area. Or x12 to the Hoover.

I will have to check on those area's,I'm looking for a area in Calf. that we can draw without a long wait , With the cost of going out-state being so high this year, I'm going to have find something closer to home.

The Trinity Alps is perfect for what you're looking for. OTC, world class blacktails, huge-remote areas. More and more popular but if you get off of the pack trails, you'll be by yourself.

I'd put in for an X12 or an X9b.....if you have points... and pick a D zone as a alternate option......Assuming that you are going to use pack stock.

Gator,

If you want to go in on my application, I will have 5 points and was thinking about X9A.
