give that tag your best effort and congrats!
you'll be fine... my elk was Marbles MT had to eat it though I did see nice bulls but no chance at recovery and it was 95 degrees and I was hunting by myself! if you can spend for a guide thats best unless you have a buddy to help you!

The tag is good for green diamond timber land only. Those elk you see in orik when you drive through, you are hunting those same elk just higher up. Be prepared for lots of people in a small space as the elk are concentrated in pretty much one area. The zone is big but we did not see many elk other than the one spot where everyone else will be opening morning. The experience documented in Trophy hunter was pretty much the same experience I had, other hunters shooting, a guide trying to get his client on the elk and then the herd went by me at about 400 yards. Only difference was mine was a smaller bull :-(

Just thought I'd put my two cents in here. Like marburg said, most of the people and elk will be in the same area on opening morning. Most of the elk will be taken there because that's where everyone hunts. But there are elk elsewhere on the property if you know where to go.
I have guided on the Klamath hunt for at least 8 years in a row and my clients have taken 5 or 6 record book bulls during that time and several other nice bulls. These elk have been in a lot of other areas other than the area marburg refers to. Most days on the Klamath hunt, you will not see an animal. The Klamath hunt gets a bad name because of this.
Last year I hunted 7 days and saw bulls every day. That is the first time that has ever happened. Last year the lady I guided unfortunately crippled about a 340 bull at 30 yards. The bull went a couple miles and then jumped the fence onto the National Park. At this point you are done with that elk. She ended up taking a bull that made the record book but it wasn't near as big as the one we lost. Both of the bulls she shot were miles away from the area marburg refers to.
The year before, I had two clients and we took a bull the first 5 minutes on the first day and saw two other huge bulls after we shot that one but we had split up and I had the other hunter in another area. We hunted five days in a row after that without seeing a bull and then he killed a bull on the seventh day.
This is a totally different elk hunt than most people have ever been on but you have a realistic opportunity to take a record book animal.
I actually advertise here on this site. If you see G & J Outdoors and click on that, you will go to my website and you can see some of the bulls we've taken on the Klamath hunt in the photo gallery. Good Luck on your hunt!
