Generally, I agree with your assessment of wilderness areas, although there are certainly exceptions. (The Gila Wilderness in NM, maybe the High Uintahs in UT are awesome.)

I like wilderness for the ability to get away from other hunters. In bowhunting and calling elk especially, I'll take 1/2 the number of elk to avoid tripping over other hunters. I hate hearing a bugle and having to assess whether it's really an elk or just another nimrod.
