I may have the opportunity to go on a DIY blackpowder elk and deer hunt to Unit 42 in September 2010. Can anyone till me about the quality and amount of game in the Unit and what is the terrain like. We have done DIY camps in the past with success but not into Unit 42. Any help would be appreciated.

Lots of game and lots of hunters. About average quality, not really a trophy unit. You might get lucky and stumble onto a good animal, but average elk is a raghorn. Decent bucks, but lots of country to hide in.
