JasonG:
Hello all, not looking for a particular wilderness area, just wondering what your expriences have been during modern season in regards to pressure in wilderness areas . Not talking about High buck which sounds a bit over run . Thank you in advance Jason

trophyhunt:
Ahhh, love me some wilderness!  Can’t say much about the modern, but I hunted the wilderness with bow and muzzy a couple years in a row just recently and it was busy w people.  I have always assumed modern would be busier but stayed away to really find out.  With all these permit only areas and expensive passes to buy, the wilderness gets busy. 

Skyvalhunter:
It all depends on the wilderness area. Some are closer to access and thus have more hunters. Some hunters use outfitters to take them in for the general season hunts in wilderness areas. I have hunted some wilderness during the regular season and saw less people.

CarbonHunter:
You won’t have to worry about road hunters but there will still be the granola munchers. If snow comes early typically the animals drop down.

SWHUNTER:
Do this a lot. I think it depends on the year and the weather. Sometimes we don't see anyone. Last year there were hikers everywhere because it was nice weather and people love the fall colors in the high country. It got way worse after Covid shutdowns. My son and I were glassing a basin last year and had a hiker yell at us across the meadow asking if we were deer hunting...
