Myself and 3 buddies are going to be hunting in the Gravelly range next month, and wondering if anyone has any gut feel on Elk numbers in the region. I read the fish and game reports and called a warden form the area and everything sounded good last I checked in. I'm a little concerned with what I have read about hunting pressure in the Gravelly's, but I'm hopeful that we can walk past the roadside hunters and get back into some more remote areas. I worked in griz. country and been around them a lot so that not a big concern, but a high concentration of hunters is. We are all in good shape and can do the work to get past other hunters, but hopefully its not a competition. Would ATV's be an advantage? I know some people hate them but if used properly they don't have to be a nuisance. Any input or opinions are welcome.
