Deer numbers are way down after the two hard winters. There can be a lot snow to where it is difficult to get around or very little snow, depends on the year. You will probably see moose, cougar and bobcat tracks or animals. There are wolves in there also. I have seen one of the largest if not the largest white tail buck I have ever seen.
There is a lot of public land, but some private scattered around in it after you get above the valley bottom. Should be no problem finding hunting land, but maybe hard to find deer.
