Has anyone on here hunted during the archery elk season in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area in unit 43 in CO? This will be my first year elk hunting, and I will be going during the otc archery elk season in CO, and I'm in South Carolina, so I won't be able to physically scout the area before my hunt due to limited vacation time. Heading out Sept. 7-16, and will be backpacking in a few miles and pitching up camp. Looking at onx topos and Google earth, it looks like some rugged country, but with plenty of timber and water. From what I've read, it seems to be a really popular place for backpackers and hikers that aren't hunting, along with a few outfitters. Just curious if it would be worth going out there. Any and all info and advice is welcomed! Thanks in advance!
