Unit 71 has many many roads and trails cutting through most of it. The hunting pressure is severe. Don’t be surprised to see other hunters every other hour. That said ,there are still animals there. You just have to tell yourself it’s not a secluded hunt and be okay with that.
Hello, I was curious about how the conditions are looking for elk first rifle October 15-19. You mentioned it being ultra dry. Thankyou for any thoughts on this and how it will affect the season.
