Todd a friend of mine is going on a hunt next November in the same area. I asked him if the bulls still had their racks and he said they did. I think it will only get about 20-30 below at the most at that time. As far as I know all you do is ride the road till you see them pick out the one you want and shoot it. Then you take your snowmobile and drag it to the road. The guys he's going with are meat hunters so I would say the meat should be okay.
