Hunted the unit maybe 8 years back. Like never stop said say 1 absolute PIG, not much else. He was leaving the state after we bumped him from his bed unexpected. Had the best luck walking slow then even slower through the thick stuff. Also scouted in August prior, mistake. The deer were not in the same area come game time. Saw alot of elk and does but the bucks were few and far between. Talked to a few local guys who insisted on staying in the timber and using a brush gun. Have to say, only 3 bucks we saw were in the dark side of the moutains and tucked in nasty little draws. all the beds we found that were in the more open country on the rims and tops of moutains/canyons had been long vacated. Another mistake, left the wall tent and wood stove at home so we could be mobile......talk about cold!
If you want some more specific info PM me and I will dig out the topos.
Good Luck
Mike
