The Elk Thread

[Roger]

Heading to CO on the 20th to hunt 8 days. Maybe we can get lucky and find an elk still in the unit, hiding in a cave somewhere.

Hunt hard! Temps are going to fall this weekend and we the locals are hoping this 90 degree plus afternoon nonsense is over.

As a non-resident did you get paper tags or the new MT e-tags?

Paper. We start hunting Saturday so hopefully miss all the heat. Though it does look like it’ll get back in low 80s sun and mon.

We leave Monday as well from San Antonio heading to New Mexico (Angel Fire).

I hope you aren't having to hunt in the burned area south of there.
I'm trying to hunt in the middle of it. Still stumps burning.

We are north of Angel Fire and West of Eagles Nest so not in the area affected by the fire.

I have been in SW Colorado since opening day. I have had three bulls in bow range but only one of them legal. A nice 5x5 which I couldn’t see my pins to shoot thanks to the No lighted pin rule here. Somebody moved about 500 cows into my area and the elk have vanished. I left this morning to look for new country. Everywhere I looked is covered in RV’s and hunters. I did manage to call in Ryan from Wisconsin. A nice young man that really liked my calling abilities[emoji16]Not sure what to do next. Really enjoying a motel room after 6 nights in a tent.

Looks like one of the first LDPs. Shot this Saturday in CO and haven’t seen an elk since. Trying to fill my buddy’s tag still, but been tough
. They are all either up high or on private it seems.
