[QUOTE="82Cadi, post: 2506658, member: 122975"] My brother and I hunted Selway last year for elk. We primarily hunted 16A and 20. This is just my $.02 but my brother and I are pretty solid hunters and this was one of the most desolate places we’ve ever hunted.* (notice the asterisk) Our father was with us so we stayed at Red River Hotsprings which was cool and I recommend but it’s is a long drive to get back into the unit. We hunted hard for a few days. We tried to hunt 1-3 miles from roads to get away from other hunters and we saw literally NOTHING. No sign, fresh or old, deer or elk… virtually no animals at all in some of the best looking country we’ve hunted. Finally we bit the bullet, loaded up daypacks and went deep. 5 miles in, all the sudden, there was sign and the deeper we went, the more we saw. We walked 16-18 miles that day and realized we were just not setup correctly for the hunt. Ideally you’d have horses, at very least, you’ll want a solid backpack camp setup. There is so much deep wilderness with no road access, there is little reason for animals to be closer to humans. Again, just my thoughts. Jason [/QUOTE]
