Sitting at 8400 ft in unit 53. Havent seen the first.elk
The area that I have hunted for years and have been sucessful is a poor place to be this year. Have seen zero elk and only 1 mule deer. Large ranch near by is crawling with both bells and cows. 3rd season has always been the best, just not this year.
Been talking to hunters at work all season. Everyone is saying they are all still at the timberline or a tad lower. Haven't gotten enough snow to push them down yet. That may change this weekend, but... Warm and dry weather really put a crimp in a lot of hunter's seasons.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
We can only hope a couple days of colder weather will push them where we need them, otherwise there is going to be alot of unfilled tags.
My hunting buddy and I are heading out for 4th Rifle next week. I've got my fingers crossed for some good snow this weekend.
Been out twice now. Elk are still up high, or if low near water. Saw most of the elk in deep timber or on the private land adjacent to rivers. Season 1 was good, 2 and 3 have sucked bad. Hoping for 4th we get a good cold front.
