Pre-Hunt Survey - October 17th, 2004

Made a pre-hunt survey of GMU 50 and 501 today, can't say that it looked very promising. Several camps along FR 39 and the Turner Gulch/Lasalle Pass area but no game hanging and did not find any hunters that had even seen game. This is the 2nd Rifle combined season (October 16 - 24). Some snow and colder weather might help, the current weather forecast indicates this might happen this next week. Seen a number of sled dog teams as well as hunters on horseback on the road. The sled dog teams had caution signs out warning that they were working their dogs on the roads.
