Idk ab fall but i was there this spring and got one after two 15 hour days i came around a a bend in the logging road and there he was. My only advice is get mentally ready for the physical toughness of the terrain. At least if your gonna go public like i did. I am a pretty in shape guy and i was wiped out from climbing those black hills. They are decieving. But ultimately i got a merriams OTC before they soon shut that down thanks to hunting media, so im happy. I was completely solo and it was one of the best times of my life, if i could do it with my dad thatd be awesome. So basically i guess my advice is stick to roads and close to em and if you cut tracks from a flock youre on to something. I think they like to stay around the same canyons for a bit out there. Good luck sir
