Unreal!
I'm getting ready to head to that unit in 2 weeks.
Were you on State or BLM land?
I've been keeping my Escouting to BLM only.
I'd love to hear the story as well.
I was on a county road just glassing. I was able to make peace with the rancher and we worked it out so I'd rather just let it go at this point. We did find some elk, and a friend of mine got a cow (I wasn't hunting with him) on the other side of the unit I was hunting. What I realized is that a lot of the outfitters and ranchers think they own the public (state) land in the unit and most of them seemed to not understand at all what the E plus program allowed for. I heard of another hunter getting bullets flung his way randomly as well. I'm pretty conscientious about not trespassing and use ONX all the time.
From what I saw cruising some of the "ranchette" subdivisions, there's some shady stuff going on out there.
