I have hunted just south of Hayden and Craig for the past 5 years. Last year the winter kill did substantially affect the elk population (especially to the north), but there are still herds in the region that are strong in numbers. Hopefully the herds/ areas that were most affected will see less hunting pressure accordingly and can bounce back. Find a reputable outfitter and/ or a bookie that vets the outfitters (and keeps track of opportunity rates) and I am confident you can have a great hunt in the region.
Although it is probably too late for this coming season, I'd recommend our outfitter highly. I've got a great booking service for about any hunt you can imagine as well. They personally vet most of the hunts they suggest. Anyone interested, just shoot me a PM.
