Hard hunt, alot of private. My dad got a 300 bull 2 years ago. There are a few 330+ but they are hard to find and kill.

+1 to the other posters.
We have a little private place up there and when my daugher finally drew. a few years ago, she shot a 320 bull.
A friend of mine said there's enough public land to have a great hunt and he's done really well but I done know anything about it.
Unless your buddy knows the area or has written permission on a large private place it might be quite tough.
Just my 2 cents,
Zeke

it can be done, if you put enough time scouting and learning the country. if you are planning on just showing up, pitching the tent and wacking a 330 bull you will be disapointed .....

Ya treedagain,

You're the friend I was referring to but I didn't want to throw your name out there since you told me some stuff in confidence.

Very tuff hunt. I have a buddy who hunted it last year for archery. Saw a few elk, NOTHING big. Biggest was low 300's maybe 315 he said. Dont waste your time in my opinion.

If you know what you are doing it can be a very fun hunt. I like the archery hunt out there the best. I took a 320 plus bull out there this last year. I screwed up on a 350 plus bull. My family and friends have had about 13 tags out there since 98 so we know the unit well. If you are looking for something in the 330-360 range it is very possible. Don't let all the private land scare you away. Ive never had a problem with it.

This can be very tough hunt unless you have access to private property. I would be careful burning my points on this unit.

A couple of years ago I was camping in UT and hunting unit 1 in CO. Had to walk in everyday because unit 1 is mostly wilderness study area in the middle and north end. Saw a couple of good bulls on the UT side. Best one maybe 340. This was muzzy season in CO. I'm sure Diamond Mtn. gets pounded during rifle season.

Very nice bull Tag n Bag!
You should be proud of that Diamond Mtn bull.

Treedagain, Nobody has held it against me yet. LOL

As everyone has saidit can be a tough unit. Lots of private ground to get thorugh so you need to have a relationship to access the public gorund on top. Or be willing to hike your butt off.

I got a 300 bull 6 years ago. And my brother ended up settling on an ok 5 point about 3 years ago. Both rifle hunts.

I will be putting in for the archery hunt this year. It is not a unit I would burn points on, but if you want to hunt elk, it is better then any public general unit.
