Isn't 16B horseback, and very rugged country ?

Hell yeah buddy, all wilderness in 16B no road hunters messing with you. Driving around listening for bungling bulls playing the public land game. Hike in hunt, try to kill a good bull and pack him out. Gonna be tough, but do able for sure.

It is tough trying to find elk in the wilderness. Most hunt that unit on horseback. Finding a water source is challenging. A spring or creek that is wet one year may be dry the next. There is one local outfitter that specializes in hunting the Gila wilderness on horses that I know of. Search around here and you can find a couple of outfitters. Congrats on drawing your tag!

What others have said is true. But with that attitude? I predict a very large gut pile or 2. Good luck!
