Archery hopefully is different than rifle. For rifle deer and elk open the same day and there were hunters everywhere! Plus there is a atv road down every drainage which everyone drove and scared everything out of the country. We had a big herd pin pointed for opening day with some nice bulls. Got in and above them before light and then the atvs drove down threw the bottom and chased everything away. We ended up with 2 out 5. Cow and rag horn. But struggled after the first day. There is a lot of elk in the unit just tough hunting and a ton of pressure. Watch the weather. We got stranded for 2 extra days but we were not in any danger. Good luck!
