Hello, I am wondering if anyone has experience with this unit. I've recently driven this unit from Woody Ridge all the Way to Casner Mountain, beautiful country and can't wait for September. Definitely not asking for specifics, just curious to hear about anecdotal experiences related to age class and road traffic / hunting pressure (which I haven't been able to find recent info on in other searches). I typically hunt wilderness areas and Utah and Wyoming and this unit has a TON more roads than what I'm used to. Just curious if in your experience the elk get pushed as the season starts from the top of the unit into the wilderness areas of Sycamore canyon. I'm absolutely prepared to drop into that canyon if need be, but obviously want to avoid that if the elk are not in there as early as September, I would guess they are there by rifle season. Also, I know as far as age class this is not a "premiere" unit in AZ, so I am trying to create reasonable expectations for myself. I'm not a big score guy, I'd be absolutely ecstatic to shoot any mature 6 point, but if guys with experience in this unit think there is a reasonable shot at a 330+ bull if I hunt the entire two week season and am willing to eat tag soup I'd like to hear it. If that's not a reasonable expectation then that's fine, I'll happily try to kill whatever bull I can to feed my family.
Just trying to get as much info as I can, because I will likely only get to hunt in AZ two or three times in my life unless I get lucky.
Would be willing to trade info if you are interested in the Utah's Wasatch LE unit and/or OTC archery elk hunting in the Uintas. I also have information on deer in the Wasatch East, Wasatch West, East Canyon, and Kamas units
Thanks
