Hey guys doing my winter planning/scouting and trying to decide on a rifle hunt for my wife next year. We both archery hunted unit 54 last year and although we didn't fill any tags we had several close encounters and saw elk every day. I will be returning this next season with the bow but we are thinking about coming back for first season rifle for her. I'm curious what the hunting pressure is like and if the elk tend to be at high elevations like they were for archery season (11,000' or so). We take horses and pack in for the entire season. We are not looking for any ones spots as that would take away from the adventure for us but any advice will be greatly appreciated.
