We hunt near and in wilderness. I would advise against thinking that wilderness will give you a pristine adventure in 21. Outfitters and horse hunting locals have large portions of the wilderness covered.

Focus on country near wilderness with few roads and lots of up.....

You can kill elk near 70 but you will be disgusted by the crowds. You won't need an alarm clock due to the constant atv traffic starting at about 4 a.m.

Get two miles away from that circus and you will find pretty good elk hunting. Three years ago we came out to the trailhead to find 20+ atv's parked. Two miles away, eight of us never saw another hunter that wasn't part of our group.
