[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 529187, member: 10391"] I want to add some to what fj40mojo posted. If you can find beg or steal some old topos of the Middle Fork country or any country for that matter you will be blown away with the trails that used to be maintained by the forest service and are still there. Only the main trails are maintained anymore and that's about all you will see on the current topos. Those old trails will be pretty much gone on the big grassy hill sides but in the timber and across rock slides they are still quite prevalent and if horseback they can still be used with a little work. There was a old outfitter by the name of Lafe Cox that had a ranch in Johnson's Creek near Yellowpine that guided all of the Middle Fork country but mainly the drainage's that I described in an earlier post. Through a friend who knew him personally I was able to learn about trails made by him that existed in almost every drainage and were blazed. It sure made getting around that country a lot easier If you're serious about hunting big bucks there are better places such as unit 45, 18 on the Snake side and remote areas of 76 with snow, but for elk the Middle Fork used to be the best.
