Title: GMU 520 Winston Muzzleloader Cow Tag
Post by: Jon Boquist on June 24, 2018, 10:48:50 AM: My son and I got drawn for muzzleloader cow tag in GMU 520. We also have the Weyerhaeuser permit. Haven't hunted that area before and don't get the key until August 1st. Any intel available?

The Weyerhaeuser permit will help with being able to access all the country, but elk will be hard to find, and if you do find some, I'm sure they'll have hoof rot and be limping.
