    Muzzleloader Elk Help in Western CO

    Well, after my friend pestering me to apply in his area, I applied along with another friend for ML tags this year. The ML season is in mid-September. We drew, now my friend tells me that he has to move for his job and we're now on our own - GREAT! We now lost our scout for the year! So...
