I would post your question on our Utah DWR forum. I don't hunt those areas, I like the south east myself. And even though the game in some places out west is less wary, you will find that in Utah, most bucks are super skittish, the elk aren't that bad though.
Here is a link the the DWR forums...

I would ask under biggame.
