I hunted that zone a few years back. Lots of roads, and lots of road hunters. It is a steep zone, has elk. Are you archery or rifle? I hunted that zone for deer with a rifle and had plenty of company. Lots of horse guys in hells canyon, so expect that as well.
My partner and I's first western kill! Got her at 481 with a nosler accubond out of a 300 short mag!
Figured I would attach a pic of her not going for a ride haha
