Considering a week+ of backpacking in the Beartooth Absaroka starting 9/12 or 9/15. Wondering how much we’d be sharing the wilderness with hunting crowd. I looked up Fish and Wildlife regs and it looks like some seasons will be open, but I don’t have enough local knowledge to know what practical impact for a backpacker might be. Can any locals help out? Are there areas to avoid that time of year?

Interested in both avoiding noise impacts and lots of horsepacker traffic. And of course accidents.

Thanks!
