Valle Vidal Youth Hunt

[montanahunt]

I'm from Montana and my son drew a Valle Vidal youth hunt. I'm not planning on using a guide. Can anyone help me out on areas or what to expect. I'm well prepare to get one out and will some help. Thanks!

Is not using a guide a good idea?

LAST EDITED ON Jul-21-07 AT 12:07PM (MST)[p]If you don't mind packing one out yourself. The Valle Vidal is "foot or horseback" only country off the main roads. Which, there are only two that you can drive. The main road that goes from Questa over to Cimarron and the "Loop" road that takes off the main road by Cimarron Campground and comes out down below back at the main road just below "The Rock Wall". There are lots of good hunting areas off the loop road. You may also want to look at the some areas you can walk to right from the McCrystal Creek Campground. There are tons of elk there and you really shouldn't have a problem. Just be ready to put some miles on the puppies without ponies......its big country.

OH.......and watch out for the bears. Got my cooler one night!

Sent you a PM
