We had two horses for each person two cover some ground. If you’re flying into the river and walking the river would be best chance for deer because that’s where the grass is. Very little on the mountain sides. Hope your fit. Good luck. Beautiful in summer terrible in winter lol Love the place

Great to hear about your trip - thanks! Looks like yellow jacket is slightly south of where i fly into. I've heard the elk numbers are low so not getting a elk tag and it would be a mission to sort out the meat too without horses. Using horses would be my preference but happy to fly right into the middle of the wilderness. And yes will be walking the rivers and glassing from there. If there is a big snow fall that will definitely help find the animals. I will actually apply for a draw tag in the same area but a later season (Nov) when the deer will be rutting.

I'm pretty fit and training for the coast to coast and will keep training right up to Oct when i head over.
