AI Scout Preview

OR GRIZZLY — Grizzly. Terrain & Access The Grizzly unit spans 1.08 million acres across a wide elevation band (1,251–6,226 ft), offering both lower-country and high-country habitat. Public land comprises less than 30% of the unit, meaning access is constrained and hunter pressure concentrates on available public ground. This low public-land percentage makes pre-hunt scouting and knowledge of road access critical — arriving opening day without a solid plan will leave you competing hard for limited huntable terrain. Herd Quality Bull:cow ratios average 13:100, indicating a heavily harvested elk population below the threshold for sustained trophy-class production..
