I was out there two years ago looking for a cow and didn't see any elk. I was able to drive the whole area in two days. The roads are greatly improved, but there is one that was described earlier that had me nervous. All good advice. Bring two tires just for the fact that you can be very remote with limited cell service. They tell you up front that there's no help.
I know someone who trains there and told me the elk are up North. Makes sense since the Master Hunters are encouraged to hunt Badger Pocket. If nothing else it is a very cool area and like non other in the State.
