I'm thinking about putting my brother in for one of the cow hunts in 45. He has had good success in the weiser river zone for meat, but we want to switch it up for a new challenge and something closer to where he lives. The only experience I have is chasing antelope in the unit for 5 or 6 days last fall.
What I'm curious about is if there is enough elk on public land to justify putting in for it. Obviously there is the whole Bennett Mountain issue and all of the private surrounding that. There is not very much timber at all on public land in the unit via my pass through on Google Earth.
I'm definitely not looking for spots, so please don't send me any. But more so a Yes or a No from some of you experienced guys that hunt the Bennett Zone. I will be scouting the unit before the app period ends on June 5th. Thanks in advance for any replies!
