4th rifle season will be a tough hunt with the weather. Most elk will be headed for winter range if they aren't already on it. Make sure that's not private land on the unit you plan to hunt. Also, be aware of migration routes during that time of year.

Mature bulls will be off by themselves in the timber. The rest will be herded up. It's a good season to hunt for cows. Not real good for big bulls unless you have the experience to go in and get them. They won't come to calls.
