See that big hole? The elk are down there! 

What tag did you get?

[Jimmybelltown]

My buddy drew Mountain View archery elk. Any info would be greatly appreciated. The unit does not sound like a cake walk..

we all joke a bit but I'm being dead serious when I say biggest issue with mountain view is being man enough to go and do what it takes to kill AND RETREIVE an elk out of where they call home.  Most are way down the mountain and most all the access is from up top.  It's all day to get in and out and multiple trips with meat in a day is a tall order.  If your buddy doesn't have some fit friends I'd recommend him having a packer lined out.  Some cranker bulls to be had in there

Be brave enough to go all the way down    Someday I'll draw it myself.

You either have to camp out in the hole or hunt down each day. Lots of hunting time is limited by thermals Either way you look at it.
Basically any drainage in there will hold elk. The advice doesn’t get much more than that in that unit. North and east facing aspect in sept.

Here’s a pic looking across the main canyon in the unit. The very top of the mountain in this pic is where the road is.

That picture does zero Justice to the size and steepness of that country.  ALMOST makes me want to go elk hunting there   I'm gonna be super sad when the Jon draws that tag and I have to go pack

[Jonathan_S]

Yeah that makes it look like a golf course  have fun Mt View tag holders 

[Karl Blanchard]

Another tidbit would be to make some cut charts for your setup so when you have to take 39 degree slope shot you know where your arrows going to hit

[BULLBLASTER]

Here’s a tidbit. Sept 2014 there was a rather large bull right where my finger was pointing. I hauled butt over there and heard him bugling but never did see him before it got dark.
This is a picture of the mtn view honeyhole.
