If you're talking rifle and mule deer, 20 years ago you could actually hunt it, have fun, and have a good chance at a solid deer. I have not hunted it in 5 years now, but my personal opinion is it's been messed up with too much press and false hopes of the good old days. Twenty or thirty trucks with trailers at most trailheads and the high basins are a zoo. People camping right in them, trash left behind, and guys emptying their rifles at small 22" deer from sometimes a half mile away. Having said that, there are still a handful of good deer, but I would stay away from the big basins and concentrate on small, remote slides and the timber below the basins. It's sad to see what has happened to that beautiful country. There are better places to hunt big deer i.m.o.
