RE: Bob Marshall Wilderness for elk
The "Bob" is a very tough place for the first timer,if you doing a DIY hunt.There is alot to consider,horse,food,weather,gear.The area you have mentiond accualy has a good numder of elk,mule deer and white-tail,but very,very thick.
If you are going guided then by all means go,the sceanery is spectacular,the fishing is good.This a back country hunt and is alot of fun.
I have hunted the "Bob" and took a bull out of there in 2003,I have hunted it on several more hunts,we pack with 10 horse 3 to ride and 7 to pack and we still have to make two trips to get everything out,alot of work and alot of bears.We hunt up on the North Fork.
What season are you going early rifle,late rifle or archery?
