Thought I would post to see if anyone cares to consider my circumstances and offer opinions/constructive comments. So here goes.
I have the opportunity to draw my Utah limited elk tag in 2012, and the hunts I am interested in based on my personal circumstances are SS Diamond Mtn. early rifle, Wasatch early rifle, and Manti early rifle or muzzleloader. The size of bull I hopefully get is not the most important thing, however, I recognize that this tag is likely my best opportunity at something much larger than the bulls I typically get. The type of experience I really enjoy is getting into country where vehicles legally or physically can't go, and having the opportunity to glass/judge multiple animals. I have the backpack or horsepacking equipment necessary to do whatever the hunt might require.
I have done research on the success rates, called the bio's, google research, etc. like most typically do. As a nonresident though, I have not set foot in any of these areas, so would like to get some opinions on a couple of basic questions.
1. How would you rate these units in the ability to glass animals?
2. How would you rate them in the ability to hunt country without vehicle access?
Thanks ahead of time for anyone willing to comment.
