It's easy to go 1/2 mile up and only a 1/2 mile horizontally in that country, especially if starting from the river.I'd probably be the crazy one that headed up after them. 3000' is only 1/2 mile

The hunt was a bust, incredible country, beautiful and void of wildlife. Definitely wasn't what we were expecting, we did end up killing a small 3 point buck on the trip and saw a pile of wolves. We actually had wolves at least 8 wolves in a pack come into the meadow we were camped in less than 100 yards from the tent at about 10 pm. We had a howler and messed with them for almost 30 minutes before they took off, we actually saw or heard wolves every day of the week-long trip. We did see elk but they were in a nasty spot and it would have taken about 7 miles of hiking just to get to them and 7 miles in the church is no small task. I would probably do the hunt again but it would be a backpack hunt planning to camp where we ended up, we took a wall tent and to have to hike back out to camp each night and a different direction every day looking for animals was not the most productive way to hunt.
A lot of the trial systems are unpassable after some of the old burns as well so we couldn't get to a few of the areas we wanted to. It was definitely something to experience, makes a person feel really small in this world being in country like that. I would recommend anyone that ends up going there get a couple of wolf tags for sure. If I go back it will most likely be to hunt wolves.

Did you see many bears?
Certain parts of that country are really good for bears. I think you'll find more in the other area you were asking about.
