Hey y'all,
I'm planning on heading out in 2018 for a rifle hunt with 4 of my best friends. We haven't spent alot of time out west, just really looking to spend time in some pretty mountains and hunt elk. Not commited to shooting 300+" bulls, although that would be nice, we would be happy with shooting cows.
Do y'all have any recommendations on general otc units to look into?
I've looked around on gohunt and was drawn to the Selway units, mostly because of the mountains, and the early rifle hunt, which I'm guessing would mean packing less cold weather gear than in the late hunts (maybe?)
Alot of folks I've bounced this idea off off tell me it'll be super crowded. We're thinking that we could hike 3-5 miles back and hunt from there. (We're in decent shape now, working out 3 days a week with weights, carrying loaded packs, etc.)
Alot of these are out loud thoughts, I don't really know what I'm talking about. I'm not married to hunting the Selway if there's another option. I've been doing alot of reading and listening to guys who do it alot, which is one of the reasons I ended up here.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
