This is a good area to hunt, you should see some critters. This area is about 40 miles south of where I hunt and I am familiar with it. Montana Bob is even more familiar with it I believe. The last two years in that area the elk were still bugeling opening day, but got silent within a day or two of the opener. Weather can be heavy snow and cold, or 75 degrees. Afternoons can get warm, and nights pretty cold. You absolutely must be in shape, you must be willing to get up early and hike into proper intercept routes in darkness. You may wake up and have a bull in camp, or you may log many miles to get a shot, but if your not in shape your chances deminish very quuickly.
