I know it's early, but I now have enough preference points to hunt this season (CO muzzleloader) next year, so I need some help. This should be the rut, right? Less hunters in the area? I've read a lot of articles on how to hunt elk, but very few on this season in particular. My friend and I (no guide) will be hunting in the White River National Forest Flattops Wilderness Area so any tactics or tips would surely be appreciated. Thanks Troy
