No we did not fill her tag, she had several good opportunities at bulls but lets just say she had quite a case of elk fever! We went in from the 83 rd and up the ape canyon trail wich was ok, but its easier to get in from the 99 rd or windy ridge.(not sure of the legality though) The year she drew that road was washed out and we couldnt access from that side at all. There was plenty of water in a little stream at the head of ape canyon that we went to each night from where we were camping, it's seasonal runoff. Other than that you'll have to go much lower in the unit for water. As for the pack out, no matter what its going to to be tough one. We parked a truck down below lahar along that trail head on the clearwater incase we killed a bull somewhere lower so we could take it out the bottom. Other than that its up, up, and away! If it were me i would camp right up on abraham flats just barely above the main open ridge up there and hunt down to the elk each day, plenty of water, good glassing, and an exit out the bottom with the meat. I think it was around 6 miles in to where we camped. Its all steep! Watch for Mt.Goats too! From the looks of your pics it looks like youve got the good spots found allready! Good luck! If you have any more questions send me a PM
