I'm looking at going to Unit 85 for OTC archery this year. I wanted to see if anyone had every hunted this location or thoughts on the unit itself? I know its mostly private but have heard there are descent elk in the public parts. Thanks!

I am also considering 85 or 83. Never hunted either though.

There are great elk in 85 but 95% of them are on private ground that I guarantee you'll never get on. The public that is available is hunted as hard as any in the state, and any elk on the public quickly move onto the ranches as soon as guys hit the woods.

This ^ is 100% correct.
