I live a hair over an hour away from Garden Valley, I hunted there once years ago. There was a lot of game there at the time. Since then I' ve found other spots I like better. That area burned up pretty good a few years back, but I' m sure it' s still holds elk. If you' re packing in I' m sure you' ll get into plenty of elk, especially getting away from other hunters. The country has its steep areas but nothing a man can' t overcome. There' s also some mild country there once you get up high, it' s not a real brushy area so you should be able to get around pretty good, allin all I think you' ll enjoy the country.

As far as your camo goes, what you' re wearing when you took your antelope will work fine.(Your hunting picture) Camo isn' t as important as not moving when a bull is being called in. As the shooter, setup next to a tree or in front of it, but never behind it or any type of cover.

If you' d like to see what the country looks like, click on (my site) at bottom of post and look at both photo gallerys, that should give you a good idea. If you have any other questions you can email me from my site. elknut1
