Thanks for the update on my thread. I was hunting whiteys in the willows several years ago up closer to the Fred Rob and I may have seen more elk in there than deer, actually watched a big bull swim the river. Hope I don't have to try and find one in there this year, that stuff was thick, but...
JCS, did you hunt the CMR or the block management ranches in the area? Once you found elk were you able to pattern them or were they getting pushed all over the place by the deer/cow hunters? I'm not really hung up on score, just use it as a bench mark. I've only killed one bull (6x6 - great...

I finally drew an either sex tag for the breaks and am looking for all of the info you guys are willing to share. I have hunted the area off and on for deer over the years but have not been in the CMR much which is where I am thinking about starting. I know it's a madhouse during hunting...
