Rain and elk
I'll second that. I love it when the crunch crunch goes away. Elk get active when the temps cool. Season days are limited, get after it! Good luck. -

Let's talk grazing on public lands...
Late to this thread and haven't read everything....I'm a rancher from Florida, we have no public land grazing to speak of. Maybe some of the bombing ranges but they come with their own issues. Are you OK with elk and deer eating ranchers stockpile of winter feed once the snow pushes them out...- Sdieffen

First time elk hunting in Colorado, any help will be highly appreciated.
Hunt the highest north facing timber that has water within a mile. Use only a cow call and walk up on them. Be above them as the thermals rise or your toast. Good luck! -
Looking to join an ELK hunt
Chad, We've all been thru these scenarios. My recommendation is go solo and you'll meet like minded enthusiasts that don't back out next year. That's what we've done. I started solo, now there's a group of us that hunt on our own but together around the same time in the same unit. Someone... -
rope burn treatment?
Assuming it only cut the skin, Fura-zone ointment works great. Should heal in no time. I wouldn't even bandage it, let it air out. Good luck!- Sdieffen

Colorado archery near telluride
Don't let them scare you! It's never too late to start. Get after it! You'll be glad you did. #1 Get in shape. Walk /run 3-5 miles a day. Hike with some weight in your pack. Get out there and acclimate. It's generally 1000 ft per day if you're coming from sea-level. Hydrate. #2. Don't go on a... -
Season - 2020
Rough season this year in south central Colorado, got pounded with 28" of snow. Elk went lower and didn't return. After trudging thru snow that was above my knees I decided I need to invest in snowshoes if we have another event like this in the future. -

Old or New?
Same place in CO OTC as the last 4 years. I know the area well, and there's plenty of elk. Every year I say I'm going to try something new, then we stay there around 3 weeks. We'll see how thick it is with other hunters this year. To be clear, I welcome everyone to enjoy god's glory in the elk... -
CO unit 81
I've hunted 81 for the last 4 years. This may be our last if it's as bad as last year. There are elk just like every other OTC unit. However, every year the number of hunters goes up. Plan on hunting in close proximity of other hunters. Read the MVUM on the Rio Grande NF website so you don't... -
Anyone run solar panels on their truck?
A bit off the OP's topic, but I haul an old horse trailer out west when we go elk hunting. I mounted 4 100w panels on the roof(you can barely see them in the pic). Attached 2 deep cycle batteries to a 2000w inverter. Run a 9.0 cu ft freezer in the trailer to bring food into the back...- Sdieffen
