If you like to deal with jeepers and their parties, families of atv's ripping through the trails, and seeing no elk this is the place for you.

What a bunch of BS.
If you stay away from the jeep trails you won't find them. I stgayed away from them and hardly zseen anyone else hunting. There were a few guys
 Where I was on quads but that was it, other then that, had the area to my self.

If its a trail that jeeps and quads can legally drive on then why are you walking down it. get off the road!

No ATV or jeep trails where I was successful last year. I thought my Brother in-law was gonna croak just getting up to where my elk was to assist in the pack out. We started the pack out in the dark with heavy packs and made it back to the truck at 9pm. Then my wife and I went back up the next morning to finish the job. Success for me is much sweeter when I put in a strong effort to earn it.

tons of motorcycles, no elk, it should be called observatory ORV park.  Did I mention no elk???  Better you stay out of this area very hard to be successful especially during archery.  It's a big unit but I'm specifically talking about 340.  Listening to these guys will only draw dissapointment.  It will take you only a couple days to figure out who's telling the truth.   :chuckle:

No Deer either....   :lol4:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I hope no one put in for this unit because I only have 3 points and would love to draw it.  My brother had the tag last year and we had a blast. :tup:
