Title: Observatory Units 340 & 342
Post by: VL10 on October 07, 2016, 08:08:38 PM: My dad drew the Observatory Elk for Muzzleloader (quality elk) which closes on Monday and was just curious if anybody knows a good place to go or where the elk kind of hangout? He's been at it for 3 full days (had to miss a couple for work) and he has yet to see a cow or bull. Is everybody not seeing much?

First two days they were talking now I have not seen an elk in 4 days. Did pass on a 3 opening day, missed a good one on the second day, and passed on a 4 the third. Now the next bull goes down!!!
