does anyone have any thoughts on how the harvest of bull elk from a migrating herd in the fall rifle season effects the quantity/ quality of that same bull elk population the next season. We are planning a muzzleloader hunt for sept.2012 and the outfitter had hunters for the 2011 rifle season in the area we are hunting. Those hunters ( 2011 rifle ) took some really good bulls. This is an antler restriction area in southwest Colorado.
