Hunte dlast year with an outfitter. Not sure of anyone who drop camps, but they do exist....packing in all your gear would be pretty tough.

There are a few main access points, one right int he heart of the wilderness, cliff drawings national monument or something....youll see it on a map, none the less all access roads/points tend to be main oints of access for outfitters and others.....

I think that entire area is good and surrounded by great units as well, outfitters would tend to get back in there I suspect, backpackers hunting more of the perimeter/access points.

I'd certainly get a topo.....as there are some steep and deeep canyons and going a mile in 1 direction could be a nightmare and actually amount to miles and miles, up/down and steep, a good topo would be a good start to plan a hike in.....

may be easier to camp on the outskirts and then hike alot for the hunt itself if you dont use a drop camp....also a satelite phone......to rent, cell phones most likely wont work.
