Congrats, that's awesome! My neighbor has been drawing goose eggs for 23 yrs now. I told him he should get one of these for the time when he'll finally draw.
I drew a late cow tag last year in 41. Went guided. About 75 miles west of Gunnison. There was zero water. Anywhere. Bogs were hard mud. Reservoirs scattered across the area were just about bone dry. Any beaver were either dead or had moved on. I've heard good things about your GMU except that there's a lot of hiking traffic and people on bikes.
