I've been invited by an old friend of mine to join him and some buddies on their elk hunt this year. I don't know many details, other than they stay at a house/cabin in the Flaming Gorge area so I suppose we'd be hunting the NE region. So far as I know they don't have access to private land so it will be a public land hunt.
OK, so who has an opinion???? Are there some public land elk within reach of someone who's not afraid to hike and hunt hard? No horses or ATVs, just good ol' foot power... I'm curious as to what to expect, as I've only hunted elk here in AZ before (don't worry, I'm not expecting to compare it to my favorite hunting grounds here...).
Also, it looks like the general tags go on sale 'first come - first served' in mid-June. Can I expect them to run out really quickly?
Any words of wisdom or experiences would be apprecited.
