most of the private ground is in some pretty thin strips along gooseberry creek; most of the unit is public ground; I have no doubt you could kill a 160 buck (or better) on private, but, you are going to literally be shooting next to the ranchers house. If that is the kind of hunt you are looking for, you should be able to find a trespass fee hunt that would work.
the few people who do guide in the unit actually go out into the badlands for the most part as that is where the biggest bucks are. Some of the better public ground areas in the unit are pretty well known by now; and, unfortunately, people set up their camps right in the middle of the prime areas; there were 4 camps in there this year that were in the middle of the best area; the roads in the unit never used to bother the deer because they gave out so few tags and nobody every camped back there; but, over the years the hunters have congregated into the best area; that area no longer holds the deer or bucks that it used to because of all the camps and congestion. You now have big 5th wheels in there, wall tents, etc etc. 7 or 8 years ago, you never saw a camp back in there as most people would camp down lower, or stay in town and drive out in the morning.
I guess I just don't understand setting up a big camp with 8 guys and 43 four wheelers right in the middle of the prime area???
