When the weather bad or cold a lot of hunters don't spend a lot of time in the woods. I've had some of my best hunting when the weather is bad or it's cold. I stay out all day. Just make sure you have the right clothing. Good luck!
Congrats on a great bull. With the weather that's coming in Wednesday and Thursday snow you made the right choice. Those roads are no fun when it gets wet.
I also have a 27" draw. My preferred poundage is 64-65lbs and my arrow weighs 430. I've been fortunate to have taken quite a few elk with my bow. All my shots have been pretty much pass-thrus.
With your set-up you'll be fine, just use a good solid broadhead and take a high percentage shot...
Yes, I agree certain areas no guarantee for a cow tag but there are always left over in other areas. It may not be the specific area a hunter wants to hunt but they still can definitely hunt other areas where it's almost a sure thing.
