Thank you for your honest, albeit depressing message. We are planning on hunting some of the public areas surrounding the a cross ranch. Also bear gulch looks promising. We intend on being there the first week of October and are trying to figure out if we would be better off in the forested hills on the east side of the unit, near the wilderness area, or the more open drainages across the river on the west side. We are not worried about trophy quality we just want to have a good time and get some experience doing a western hunt before we plan more serious trips. Thanks again for your help.
