My advice is to not be to picky. Take some time and scout. The elk will be pushed hard during the rifle hunt. If you are real brave try up on the top on the south side of Willow Creek above Mona. It would be brutal getting an animal out of there, but the best bulls on the unit might be in that area. Don't pass up any bull scoring 320, that could very well be the biggest bull you could find. Also, don't overlook Maple Mt. There was a 380 bull there after the hunts last year. Probably made it through the winter just fine. This unit has gone downhill for the last 5 years and it looks like it won't get any better in the foreseeable future.
