Has anyone ever hunted this unit for Elk? i am heading up in 2 weeks to do some scouting and any info would be appreicated. |
| billythekidrock:
What kind of info? My family has hunted that unit for over 30 years. Now we only hunt every other year or so. Are you AHE? The unit is large, the locals spotlight and the natives over harvest. Everyone camps along the QRidge road. There are elk in there, ya just have to tough out the people. |

What season are you going to hunt? Rain Early season archery is much different than late. Rain general Rifle much different than special permit rifle Rain Crapload of elk, lots of hunters in the modern season. Rain Did I mention that it rained a lot in this unit? in 1998 (or so) my buddy and I estimated that it rained at least 20 inches in the week we were there. |

LOL.... Yes, I forgot to mention rain. (I guess I figured most would already know) We camp on the river and have had to canoe into camp in the past. The rain up there is like no where else. |
