Observatory Bull hunters

Congratulations if you drew this tag. Feel free to PM me on any advice for this unit, I've hunted this unit for over 15+ years, 2 bull tags of my own where I was lucky enough to take a 320" bull in 2003 and a 365" bull in 2010 and I got my grandpa a 250" 6 point in 2004. These tags are few and far between and I have no problem sharing what I know about this unit. Good luck to you all.
PS. I have only hunted modern firearm and muzzle loader in this unit.

Nice offer tgray. This tag can be tough to fill sometimes. At least in my family.

I killed a muzz bull that scored 370 in that unit. Great tag based on weather, not snow but how cold it is at night, sometimes the rut is mid to later in sept and sometimes OCT 1st is right in the boiler room. Either way pay attention to the North facing heavily timbered slopes. Good luck

Tgray, that is a very kind offer. I sort of feel the same way as you do about these permits and like to at least give folks a few pointers about units I have knowledge about. That said, observatory is not a unit I have hunted though I have spent some time in there during off seasons poking around.
My dad drew a disabled modern rifle elk permit this year after 14 years of applying (crazy long time for a disabled guy to wait for a tag!!) for October 24-November 5. Any pointers you can share would be much appreciated. PM sent
