You've already done what I would do, and that is get local knowledge from Ryan. Might also be worth it to contact the local biologist and/or game warden. I have good results with the Wyoming guys in the past. We were out in Hill City last year for a quick family trip. Our favorite part was driving the back roads thru Custer Park near dark looking at the deer.

I'm pretty excited my self. Going to Colorado in Sept for a drop camp muzzleloader elk hunt! I need to do some more shooting and get in a bit better shape.
