Hoping for a couple of us Virginia flatlanders to do a do it yourself OTC non-resident tag elk hunt in fall of 2023... this caught my eye on initial Google fu map recon: "King Mountain
The King Mountain SRMA is unique due to its remoteness and proximity to the Flat Tops Wilderness and its huge elk herd. Most of the routes within the SRMA are designated for foot and horse travel only, making it pristine and untouched by motorized vehicles. The area is prized by hunters for a remote backcountry hunting experience. Expect little trail maintenance, tough travel conditions, and beautiful scenery. "

Any opinions and advice appreciated...
