I helped my buddy with his unit 51 muzzleloader hunt. The wind was crazy and cold. The open sights are a challenge. He hit the bull the first shot at 80 yards. Not the best shot!!! He reloaded and I cow called, when the bull lifted his head he shot him in the neck dropping him.

Hopefully we get some snow before your hunt. Good luck 🍀
Just was up there this weekend, had rained earlier in week. Was up by escarpment. Old scat, one bull walked by my tent at night while I was sound asleep. Saw nothing even in valley below. Got a shitton of pinon tho!!!
 
Saw a lot of cows in that unit last year on my bull elk hunt--should be a good hunt. Good luck to you.
It's a big unit, was it N S E W side if you wanna say? I was there last weekend on SouthEast side near 285 by escarpment. Saw old scat and a bull walked near me but saw nothing. I want to go up by the North side, sorta near Hopewell lake, but my hunting buddy isn't keen on the possibility of getting snowed in (which I am doubting will happen with current conditions)
