Title: Lincoln Unit???
Post by: brokehunter on October 26, 2011, 10:05:11 PM: Was curious if anyone has any info on the Lincoln unit (501) For elk. I noticed in the regs it's anterless as well as 3 point min. How's the elk in there? What's the access like? Is it worth a shot to check it out? Although I'm not new to elk hunting, I'm still looking to bag my first elk, cow or bull. Any info would help! :tup: Thanks!

Opening morning they shoot a few of them and then the heard heads out of town. That is about all I know lots of clear cuts and lots of people. Seem's if memory serves me right there were only a couple of roads in there but lots of walking and some big timber.

Lots of quad guys riding around gates so you would have to sneak through the timber and stay off of logging roads even if they are gated. good luck :twocents:
