We just got back and had excellent success on (2) Mullies and a nice bull...the big mullie went 158". The snow piled high on 10/20 and is probably gone by now. Private property will be a huge win for you (if you have it)....we hunted BLM and did very well. Look for rutting bucks up high in dark timber if the pressure is light and the weather is fair....look for them down low near private land if the pressure is heavy.
