I have enough points to draw this tag for rifle seasons 1 - 4. I usually hunt 3rd season over the counter so I am pretty familiar with where to look for bulls in this season. I do like the idea of going early because the weather may be better. I plan to do alot of scouting this summer to get familiar with the unit. I may use horses if I think it will make things easier. Looking for advice from anyone who has hunted this unit. That includes you Big Fin. I have watched your unit 61 video about 12 times now.
