Here's what I cannot find easily online and could use some "local" knowledge. Of the 16 any elk I'd like to select one with the following;
Horsepackers
Hotels/Motels/ B&B nearby
Meat processing services
My original plan was to hunt Wasatch near Strawberry Res as all the services I'd want are nearby. Figured i'd stay at the lodge there and know they have horsepackers in the surrounding area and a meat guy in Heber but that's a spike only unit which is not what I want. Not asking for directions to any honey holes or anything, just help selecting a unit for a NR OTC tagholder. If there are bars/restaurants nearby (within 20 mins) as well, that's a plus. After a long hot day in the mountains in August a cold beer and steak are always welcome, especially if you just filled your tag. Will likely be hunting solo...waiting to hear from a buddy to see if he can join me (longshot).
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
My initial research is pointing to Kamas. Seems to rich in public land, has the services noted nearby (horsepacking may be necessary due to high August weather temps) but I could be wrong. I realize most of these units are somewhat poor on quality and quantity of elk. Kamas might get some crossover from the WMR.
