A week isn't very much time. About the time you leave from there, I'll be arriving. I've been bowhunting there for 4 yrs on drawn hunts. There is usually a burn bann in place at that time of year as temps can be 100 plus during the day and at nights you freeze your butt off. September rainstorms are a given at that time of year and that gumbo clay can really be problematic if your hauling a camper or an RV. People will be plentiful but there won't be near many this year as in the past. Leave your bull calls at home and bring a calf and cow call and don't over call. These damn bulls are the most educated elk anywhere and a ground blind works good for an ambush. The cows are far from stupid also. Finding a good tree to put a stand in is rare, if you had a tripod treestand that would be good and just set up in the willows 2hrs before sunrise and pay attention to wind direction at all times. Also watch out for the prarie rattlers as they like to come out of there holes and bask in the sun. Bring a fishing pole too as theres good fishing for walleye, seagers and catfish on the river at night when you get back. Its considered by montana standards thats its a warm body of water and you'll need to get a warm water stamp for your fishing license. If you can get cell phone reception there, good luck.
