I just got back from 4 days in the North Grizzly unit. What a disappointment. I knew there was little public ground, but after map work we decided to hunt the pockets of BLM and US Forest Service land available. We tried every road we could find on a map and several that weren't. Every one was closed " to repair" or closed to all motor vehicle traffic, private ranchers gates and the best one "a locked gate in Prineville subdivision, for the use of owners only." This is public roads and public land. The only people who can use it for elk seem to be the pay ranches like Haycreek, or some local homeowners. This is not a huge amount of land, but elk are where you find them. I was wondering if somebody can explain this? If there is a simple answer I would be interested. Maybe we missed a way in, but like I said 4 days is a lot of searching and really isn't the point of my question. We drew that unit because we thought we had ranch access. (things change) Thanks
