I know that some of the most popular units in the Gila are considered "easy" terrain relative to a lot of other western elk hunting. I hunt Colorado every year, and seek out a rugged backcountry experience as much as I seek out elk opportunity. So I'm curious, of all the Gila and surrounding units, which offers the most rugged terrain and backcountry experience for a backpack elk hunter? 21A and 16D jump out in my research, but I'm curious to hear from people who have actually had boots on the ground in the Gila, where is the best backcountry experience?
*Also, I'm aware of other units in New Mexico NOT in the Gila that offer incredible backcountry experiences, as well as amazing hunting. I'm not interested in discussing those in this thread.
