Agreed, the actual wilderness area is full of elk and not a high density of deer. Just outside of the jarbidge is the opposite.I would call the Biologist, she is very helpful. I would not pack into the Jarbidge. I have experience in there and maybe you could find a good buck, but I would'nt waste your time in there. You will be far better with a solid truck and or ATV/side by side. Cover as much ground as you can and spend time behind your glass. There are roads everywhere. Yes its a giant area but you have a good tag. I would cover as much country as you can from sun up to sun down trying to find the buck you want. Some units are better then others, but I think you have a great chance at finding a solid buck if you hunt hard. Sometimes a short walk can get you to glass country that can't be seen from the road. Good luck, hunt hard.
