Elk hunting

[sniper7]

Im pumped for elk hunting. less than a month away. I got a 5x5 last year and hoping to one up that this year. we are going in deeper and my buddy recently scouted the area and said the big bull we were going after last year is still there.

And for all of you who are curious, I am going to Notelum mountain.

Anybody else draw? I am going for muzzleloader.

I have a bull tag for 54(gunnison area) and i have a doe tag for 12 13 14 and 15(craig area) This will be my first and probablylast elk hunting and mule deer hunting trip ever. I'm pumped. Good luck to you sir.

I wish you all the best of luck. I'll be elk (bull only, I didn't draw out a cow tag) and bear hunting down around Del Norte/Southfork area 2nd Rifle Season.

cow tag in 3 and EE in 27, both new areas to me, so I've got my fingers crossed.

a cow in area 3 is so easy, you just back your freezer and they jump in.

Since this thread is about elk hunting and this question pertains (somewhat indirectly) to elk hunting, I thought I'd ask it here.

I've got some great gear, and some not so great gear. My biggest problem is that my hands always get cold. I've tried all sorts of gloves - even putting hand warmers across the backs of my hands, but my fingers stay cold.

Does anyone know of any gloves that will actually keep your hands/fingers warm; especially when you're just sitting and waiting under a tree?

AND, I was also wondering if anyone here has ever used one of those rubber slip on barrel desonators. They're cheap enough but I was wondering if they actually improve shot groupings.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, however i have yet to get an elk and would very much like to fill the freezer. As mentioned, this will be my first time in gmu 3, i think we will be N of Hayden near the WY border (GMU's 3, 4, 5, etc). Any particular area i should back my freezer up to?

cheers,

I keep hand warmers in my pockets of my jacket, usually keeps my fingers warm while sitting.

... those rubber slip on barrel desonators.

Not sure what they are.

Don't get too discouraged. I got skunked for 7 seasons and it wasn't until th last day of my 8th season that I even saw a bull (all I've ever gotten are bulls tags). I saw a spike in the morning on that day - nice, but not shootable. Finally, with 10 minutes of light left I saw the large 6x6 that I ended up harvesting. In the end, this fella was worth the wait!
