I'm in the Panhandle - a local builder friend of mine I hunt deer with hunts down that during muzzle loading season. He's gotten 3 elk in 3 years there. I know two other people who hunt that area - one with a bow and one during rifle season. The bow hunter has harvested every year; the rifle hunter didn't last year but did the year before that.
It's rough country - if you're muzzle hunting bring snow shoes.
I slog around up here in the Panhandle - my homeschooling activities don't allow me the time to hunt down that way.
