We are planning our first Archery hunt and based upon the research I have done I have found that the White River national forest has one of the largest elk herds as well as success rates. I found another website alltrails.com and read that in this area you must use a bear canister. Is this true for all of the national forest?
I also found that this area has peaks almost to 14k. Is this an area that I would be better off with going high and glassing? What kind of weather should we be expecting for the first 2 weeks of the archery season? I assume I can park at any of these trailheads and backpack in to get in the backcountry. How is the hunter density?
Any guidance you could give a newbie would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
