What's the consensus on summer Elk scouting for an out of stater who only has a long weekend available to get out and scout before season? Is it worth the time? This would be for Colorado OTC. Actual hunt dates would be in the third week of the season. This will also be in a brand new area as we have decided not to go back to our old areas.
Some follow on questions...
- When would be an "optimal" time to go? (How early is too early?)
- Will the elk be in the same general areas come mid season? Or found in totally different units?
- Is any location change typically due to seasonal patterns or due to hunting pressure?
- Would this late Spring effect what you look for or how the elk will behave from now until season?
