Negative,
I've had access for the past 5 years and now work full time out here.  I've asked, looked, found, and thought about it.  Not worth it in the end...
I have seen some amzing things and animals out here.  If I had a good camera I could easily take pictures but I dont and it's not in the budget.

I love the shots near the end of the big bull with the broken antler. He was the obvious bad boy herd bull of the group. Borken horns, gaunt in the back from fighting and running cows all fall. It is pretty awesome to be able to see those animals in a relaxed, "normal elk" state then being pressured and run around by hunters all fall.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.
