Unit 13 is strictly draw hunt for NR.Unit 16A is open with a harvest ticket.As are sections of 20.As AK Jeff said you can get away from a lot of people by walking into areas that are not 4 wheeler accessible.But you have to remember all meat must be salvaged,this is serious you will be in big trouble if you don't.And a moose is a lot of loads. I have a partner and three sons, and would not shoot a moose a mile off the trail.Shot my first moose about 1/2 mile off the trail,with the terrain and a flood,it took a week to get all the meat out.Thankfully it had frozen where the meat was cached and we didn't lose any.Anything that can be accessed by 4 wheeler will be, and many places that are not will still have people on horses. In short I live in 14, hunt there every year, spend many hours in the woods here, and my success rate in unit 14 is less than 35%.Yes I could kill a bull most years, if I were willing to pack a moose out of some of the worst country god made.And yes even unit 14 has more that it's share of that.Some friends of mine killed a bull 8 miles from the trail last year, they had horses, and they were out for a week getting the meat out.
