Hi all,
Long time reader first time poster. I'm looking for advice on unit 622. I was super lucky this year and drew the 622-20 rifle tag for elk on the CMR. I had to go check the regs to make sure I had put in for the right tag. I also will have no opportunities to do any summer/fall scouting because I'm a wildland firefighter and as such am extremely busy around the country as well as here in montana. If anyone has any tips or general areas that they are willing to part with I would be extremely greatfull. Also is opening week of rifle a good time to go? I plan on arriving a few days prior to scout and get a feel of the caliber of bulls the area has. What can I expect for size. Id like to hike in a ways and spike out on any bulls im in love with for opening morning. How far in is far enough to get away from the crowd? Much appreciated for any helpfull comments!
