We're looking at doing a family weekend in October and doing a hunting day in 8-12 or 8-14.

I have two questions:

1. would it be a waste of money to buy an elk tag in that region, for that time of year? I've been up before in fall and CV is insanely busy and elk are scarce, I know.

2. Has anyone camped at "Old Cowboy Ranch" and would you endorse it or provide any caveats?

Thanks in Advance!
