A big mistake to make is the amount of public land. More important is the "access" to public land. I had an Antelope hunt in an area I'd never hunted but looked really good on the maps. Total washout as almost all access across private was locked gates or fenced off. I complained bitterly to the G&F but they just shrug...
I mostly just hunt local units, 48,49,50, 51, 52, 53, all easy access for me , mostly FS, State Trust, or BLM without much private to interfere.
We may learn that we don’t want to apply for that hunt code again. But the unit looks pretty accessible—perhaps too accessible. We won’t know for sure where the elk are until we go. I’m a little jealous of your access to local hunt units. Awesome elk pics!
