unit 38 type 9

I drew a 38 type 9 tag for elk, and was trying to decide if I should trailer my mules and hunt deep or leave them at home and hunt closer to the road, focusing more on hunting instead of tending to stock? any input would be appreciated.

38 has tons of road access. What do you consider "hunting deep"?

by deep I mean taking my mules into the roadless area and camping probably at least 4 miles from the road, trying to get away from 4 wheelers and crowds. But if I'm going to run into a lot of bivy hunters I'd rather leave the stock at home and try and find easier accessible elk. I have a friend coming with me to assist in my hunt, we're both fairly young and army vets with plenty of experience living out of our packs ( and have done it that way on our last 3 elk hunts) but the idea of sleeping at the truck every night and not having to tend to stock sounds appealing. the only problem is I've never been in 38 before and wont have time to scout.

I was in there with a buddy last year on foot and saw a boat load of elk
