Title: 574 Late Muzzleloader?
Post by: Figboot74 on November 24, 2015, 07:52:43 AM: Anyone hunt the late muzzleloader season in 574? I was thinking of driving down Thursday evening. I don't have a cow tag. Is it worth my time(5 hour drive) to look for a bull? Thanks, P

Yeah there is a little snow in both 574 and 578 (Glenwood/Trout lake and up). Gonna be crunchy, good luck.

I'm no scientist but I also think the moon phase made things worse. All animals I was into were bedded ALL day and didn't get up until after shooting time. Hope you had better luck than me.
