WY Unit 117?

Has anyone hunted mule deer in WY Unit 117? I can't find a lot of info on it other than it supposedly has difficult terrain. Any feedback is appreciated.

Eastmans journal has it as a blue chip unit, which looks like it has relatively easier draw odds than the other limited quota blue chip units. I applied to hunt for the first time in WY this year with one point.......I would have chose unit 117 myself for my first choice but the season timing didn't work with my job schedule...also it looks like it might be more of a back country/high hunt, according to all the maps I have looked at, which I am not set up for presently. Anyway....I am also new here and will be new to hunting WY.....but you have my 2 cents none the less. I'd be willing to bet it has some good hunting, just based on alot of the unit not having many roads!?!

117 has had declining numbers the past few years and be prepared to see Bears and lots of them. It's the nastiest terrain I think you could find in terms of steep elevation and half of the unit is wilderness. There are some decent deer but there are few of them. Very few people apply here and I can see why.
