Elk hunted it from the Deadman side for elk a couple years ago, only decent buck i saw, i would have shot only with non-permit tag, maybe 150 ish. Honestly, may sound crappy, but saw more Bulls than bucks, more bears than bucks, and more cats than bucks, but I have heard there are some dandys in there. Its a pretty cool part of the world that not many folks get to visit. I think its probably in the definition of a quality hunt, like many quality hunts, I think a hunter needs to be prepared to eat your tag for the big one. I put in for it every year, just because its a real test, a true human test. Good luck, yes a spotting scope with a spotter is a great idea. Keep your eyes out for Bigfoot.
