missedagain Report post Posted May 14, 2007 Last year I met up with some friends on this hunt and I could not believe what a zoo it was. We were just west of mormon lake and north and west of mormon mtn and it was the most crowded hunt I think I have ever seen (worse than kiabab). If I was going I would look at the southeast corner of the unit and I would stay away from the "quiet areas". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean besides our close "friends" who camped on top of us for two hunts in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted May 14, 2007 Good luck up there Pinalmtnman! My son had this tag a couple of years ago. We didn't get him one, but we had a great time!! If you want to get away from the people, just hike a bit off the road. Maybe try the Pinegrove or Rattlesnake quiet areas. Lots of elk in both, and hardly any people. Have fun!!! S.

stanley Report post Posted May 16, 2007 Hmm.... Good info elkhunter & downthebarrel. I was thinking that I-17 was the boundary and I would guess that you are correct in that the majority of hunters, like myself, would ignore the west side. Man I wish my boys would have gotten drawn this year. Those cow hunts are a blast for the kids! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
