[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 2184734, member: 34818"] I have never hunted the unit but have been in it quite a bit and have hunted the unit next to it (16D) quite a bit. There are some good glassing spots in 16A. Another good thing is that there are no muzzleloader hunts in your unit so the elk don’t get ran as ragged before your hunt. The only two hunts before yours is a mobility impaired hunt and the first rifle hunt. The mobility impaired hunters will mostly stay on the roads. There are 75 first hunt rifle tags and then your hunt has 125 tags. The reason I tell you this is because you will need to get off the beaten path to get in some good elk numbers. 16A is large enough for you to do that. 125 tags means there will be a lot of people driving roads so if you get off the roads a ways and find some glassing spots then you will be around less hunters. Depending on where you are at, shots can be from 100 yards to as far as you are capable of shooting. The unit is a very sought after unit so your chances of drawing that tag even as a resident are pretty low. I have heard that big bulls are on the decline in 16A but you hear that story everywhere. There has to be some big bulls in there somewhere. Just gotta dig deep and find them. [/QUOTE]
