Snow huh - winter comes early where you are. I checked weather.com and NOAA yesterday and they both indicated lots of rain and possible floding for the Rifle/Meeker area. I guess that won' t move the elk down yet....and they likely won' t move much unless you get a couple of feet of snow. Or am I mistaken on that one? I guess that the tags we have will let us hunt in unit 21, 22, 30 and a couple more - so that opens up a WHOLE lot of land if the elk are moving out or we are not finding any good sign. I just hope for cool but nice weather - no hard rain or snow, I mean. Unfortunately, there are no cow tags left until the second season...I was considering getting one of those too, maybe next year.

I assume that you mean Sept 19th for the antlerless muzzleloader season. Let me know how you find conditions. I have some friends over in the northeast for archery now...in the Rahwah. Needless to say I am excited to hear from them. One of them used to guide the area so he will likely take good care of them.

The antlerpoint restrictions for bulls are in effect state wide right?
