Never hunted the basin for anything but a friend took a goat there. He hunted down from summit lake. It's pretty busy with hikers and fisherman.

Feel free to shoot me a PM, I've been back in there several times...
I put a link to a blog post after my 2014 "hunt" it may answer some of your questions.

Based on dirt D's blog, I was referring to a different Chicago basin. The one I spoke of is the area of the Chicago lakes near mount Evans.

I’m with DD, I left the basin without shooting one. I didn’t want to wait the 5 years to be in the pool. I got snowed out in October, but could have killed in other parts of the unit, just nothing I wanted to kill.

I have some limited experience in the area. In 2005 I hiked in off of Guanella Pass and killed a goat on Gray Wolf Mountain north of Mt Evans. The goat then proceeded to tumble 2,000 feet down the mountain and ended up near Chicago Lakes. I ended up driving around the mountain and hiked in by Chicago Creek to retrieve it the next day.
