Does anyone have any pictures of these units to help me get a feel of what this country is like? I am looking forward to a high country deer hunt. Thanks.

Deerlove, I put in for the ML deer hunt as a 2nd option and the archery hunt for 3rd in units 43, 47, 471. I think those are the correct units, whichever ones go along with 43.

Yes, it's 43,47 and 471. I live in Aspen and can tell you it's definitely high country. Most off trail areas are rough and steep and that is where the deer and elk will be that time of year. The north end of 43 and the west end of 47 aren't so steep and high but 471 is pretty much all high country. The biggest thing to be prepared for is the altitude since most of the animals will be around treeline that time of year. I'm planning on drawing a muzzy tag as well for those units. If you send me your e-mail I'll see what pictures I have at home.

LAST EDITED ON May-10-09 AT 08:04PM (MST)[p]The picture was taken about 3.5 miles from the trailhead. It took us over 5 hours to pack from the trailhead to our camp which is about 0.5 miles from where the picture was taken. The elevation is over 12000 feet in this picture. Most of the trailheads are about 8000 feet. This is an area on the edge of the Wilderness. To get into the interior would be difficult without horses. I didn't go in.

I didn't kill one there. I was within 60 yards of one I wanted but couldn't close the distance.
