    Good luck, fellas! A warm weather hunt in early September would be nice but poses problems like hunting at higher elevations and packing meat out very quickly. Personally, I like having tracking snow and usually get that in late October, but then I'm wearing multiple layers and sometimes pac boots.

    Bring home the meat, boys!

    You will hit it better than me. I was up last week and this week. Hot, lots of people, and a full moon did us in.. saw some bulls, missed a bear but it was rough hunting! Elk werent moving or bugeling... what was crazy is they werent hitting wallows either.. on the last day we found a couple wallows that were being hit arpund 12000 ft but that was it. This was by montrose.. good luck! I hope to make it back up hunting before season ends but thinking if i do i might be facing a divorce so guessing im probably done! :-/

    I've been out all this weekend for archery. Not seeing many people, only two today, but it has been very hot and the elk are not moving. Need a cold snap to get the rut going. I'm thinking the rut is going to run really late this year, possibly first season rifle at the weather outlooks.

    I've been out the last 6 days and it's been like others have said. Wicked hot and dry - mid 70's at almost 11k feet? WTF? We had a good dump of rain one day, but that was it.

    I did see 2 sattelite bulls but no cows with them of course (cow tag).

    I have a few days to go out locally for deer. Doubt I'll see elk down here now, but who knows.
