Hey folks,
I have started to do some planning for the upcoming 2020 archery elk seasons. I would love to hear people's opinion and reasoning for picking a unit when presented with the scenario and information I outline below.
Question
Would you rather hunt a unit with a high population of animals, high hunter density and lots of road access or a moderate to low population of animals, low hunter density and limited road access?
Additional information
Primary objective is have a great experience and harvest any legal animal
3 year archery hunter - 0 elk killed with a bow (1 killed with a rifle)
Both units are close enough to scout equally
In good shape with the appropriate gear to backpack if required
If you were in my shoes, which unit do you spend your time researching, boots on the ground scouting, etc?
If you have any questions that might help make the decision easier let me know and I can provide that info. Appreciate anyone that is willing to give me their 2 cents.
