I grew up there. I spend a LOT of time there....and have for longer than most of the posters have been walking.
As I said, there are mature deer there (I have a 202 typical from there.)....still that is NOT the best place to hunt a "special big deer".
I suppose the definition of special big deer is different for different people. To me, special and nice 4x4 are different. Nice 4x4s are easy. Special can only be found where they ARE....that is not often in 54.
54 is easy access. It is my home and I LOVE it. That being said, along the Wyo. border (vicinity of Palisades east), is where you go if the goal is truly big antlers.
Within the shadows, go quietly.
