Title: 568 GMU
Post by: jtrammell on November 02, 2015, 10:23:39 PM: So I am set on hunting the 568 GMU and was wondering if anyone had information on it? I know exactly where I am going now, just wondering if there's anything I should know.

If a guy has scouted and has his eye on some elk then it can be good. If going in cold it will be tough. Its very local to lots of folks and they keep close tabs on the elk in there.
