[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 3425320, member: 2292"] Unit 65. If you have a whole wad of points your wanting to burn I can highly recommend the outfitter and the location. He does drop camps for archery and muzzleloader too which takes significantly less points to draw. That being said this hunt IS NOT for the faint of heart. It will kick your A$$ at 11,000+ feet you earn every step and its very steep country and the deer like to stay high. We first spotted my wifes deer 600 yards. It took us 45 minutes to close the distance to 350 yards because the hill was so steep. When she did shoot him he tumbled about 80-100 yards downhill before being stopped by some alder brush. I was happy to see he still had antlers when we got to him, he took quite the roll. She was shooting a 7mm-08 I was shooting a 280AI. I made a terrible shot at 360 yards. The angle I was shooting at was even steeper than my wifes and I didn't have a good shooting position. Scoped myself and was bleeding like a stuck hog after the shot. Something I have literally never done in my 30 years of hunting. At any rate hit the deer in the hinds. I assume due to my poor shooting posture. Watched him limp down hill a couple of hundred yards and disappear into 6 foot high alders. Came back 7 hours later and found him stone cold dead. I'm guessing I cut the femoral. Not one of my finest moments or shots, but it got the job done. [/QUOTE]
