[QUOTE="Wyowind, post: 1996407, member: 67305"] The Thorofare is a legendary and beautifully remote corner of Wyoming, and it is an adventure just to be there! No wonder you are so excited! With the exception of a Labor Day snowstorm this year, the weather in Wyoming has been hot and dry. That is not good for elk hunting in general, as too hot gets the elk to seek out those dense shady areas where they are so hard to find. But the weather is cooling off, and any day now the weather could suddenly change to where snow is in the forecast. There is still smoke in many parts of Wyoming, coming from the west coast (and closer) wildfires. Just depends on where you are and which way the wind is blowing as to how clear your views will be. Where you will be hunting is in the middle of some very nice country for elk. It also has a significant population of grizzly bears, among other things. You will definitely be in some wild country! Maybe the hunting gods will smile on you this year and you will find that branch antlered elk you are looking for somewhere in the Thorofare! It is certainly a good possibility! Hopefully the horse ride is not too rough on you, but it is the only way to get there! You can always get off and walk if you need to do so. And you will likely be leading your horse in certain terrain anyway. So you do not have to think of it as a straight non-stop 6.5 hour ride. Alternating walking and riding might also help you to not be completely ruined before you get to hunting camp! Good Luck to you! Enjoy the trip! Not many elk hunters ever get to go there!
