I used to camp at Granite lake and just hunt out of camp. The thing I liked about it was theres not alot of elk (they are there) but there was almost nobody else hunting there.... Always a nice quite camp and peaceful hunting.. Good luck and let us know how it goes

Down around the lake will be a zoo opening weekend but Ive got into quite a few animals between Granite and Root lake. I actually tried to go scouting earlier this year up there but ran into to much snow and ended up setting my sights on the Blues.

it's no different than it was 3 years ago. It was only a 3 year change. That was the plan all along, I don't know why this is such a shock to folks.
I have hunted the bumping since 2002. I know crowded and I know un crowded. To each their own. My only point is that those who have got used to the last couple of years are going to be in for a shock.
And I stand by my view point that both units could be open. I am tired of money and special interests deciding the regs instead of sound biology. :twocents:
