Lots of country and lots of hunters, especially during the rifle hunt.

Agree, due to distance from Idaho Falls, it gets hit pretty hard. Are some nice bulls in there. I would only hunt it Tuesday to Friday to avoid local crowd as much as possible

It's been a few years since I've hunted it, there are some great bulls in there.
Mild topography in comparison central Idaho. None of it is truly remote.
Plenty of hunters. Like most places, if you get in a couple miles the people thin out quickly.
There are a lot of elk in there and some quality bulls. If you do go for archery elk, I'd pick up a deer tag as well. Not a lot of them, but I saw several nice bucks. As a NR, the deer tag is good for bear and lion as well.

I guess I should have specified.... I'm primarily looking for deer? Is the deer hunting worthwhile? Hopefully a mule deer and not a whitetail....

Pretty high density of grizzlies or just might run into one or two?

Spent a lot of last summer and fall in there camping, 4 wheeling, hiking around, hunting for moose and elk. Never saw anything except for Moose and 3 elk. Pretty steep country. Saw quite a few people with horses buy they may have been working their way into Wyoming.
Good luck.

Doesn't matter. Always have to use a higher level of caution when hunting griz country.

I wouldn't go there to hunt deer only. Elk, yes.
I spent most of my youth hunting 66a and 76 and never have seen grizz. I did find a track that was I suspect was grizz.
