When I'm looking at a new unit, I look at the potential amount of people that could be in it. I add up all of the tags that occur during that time frame. For example, last year I hunted a new unit during 3rd rifle for male mule deer. I found out how many tags there were for that hunt code. Then, I found out how many doe tags there were. I also found out how many cow elk tags were allowed. I added up all of those numbers and realized that it would be crowded. It was also in an area that was OTC for bull elk. I knew going in that it would be crowded based off of those numbers.
I'm afraid the early rifle is going to be over-crowded. Sounds like it's in a place that gets a ton of recreational hikers as well, although it is a wilderness area so no ATV's allowed thankfully.
