The Elk Thread

Have any of you guys check weather from this last year we were just told that in Westcliffe Colorado had a wind strom last nov. that was 140 to 160 mph winds and the trail were we go to set up camp has to many down tress to get in scrambling for a new camp site

Yes, the wind storms were bad and there are a lot of downed trees in 86.

which trail?
Most of them have been cleared by now by the horse riders, but earlier in the year it was pretty bad.

If you have a chain saw there are never too many, it just may take some work.

Call the forest service, they have interns doing that kind of work all summer.

I will definitely be in 86 opening weekend. A buddy has a mule deer tag and we will be either up north near De Anza peak or south of their near Comanche Peak depending on what I find on the thursday and friday before season when scouting.

A lot of traffic up Hermit this year, and very few elk in the basin on the north side.
There however are a few over the top and into the next basin.

Silver Flame Broadheads

They are a little pricey but worth it, fly like a field point, easy to resharpen, last forever, and deadly!!! I have had complete pass thru on a elk at 60 yards.

Well guys.. after following this thread for awhile i've decided to go on an archery elk and/or mule deer hunt in the mountains in 2013. I will most likely put in for a NM tag.

Thanks for the great reading material.
