[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 1339396, member: 6481"] Crossfire, please see my post in the nearby "...OTC last minute" thread. You guys are asking similar questions. I also have a useful link there with material you can look over. All seasons have their ups and downs. You usually won't freeze to death first season, sometimes the elk will still bugle and some years you get a foot of snow. Downside is it can be hot and dry, and they will hang in the black timber and not be real active. You also often won't have snow to see tracks in. Another good things is though, if you can find those cool, secluded springs, they'll often have elk (where a few weeks later, with snow, they will have moved on). You don't have to see above timberline or have beetle kill to see elk. There are plenty of meadows and clearings on nearly every mountain. As I mention, try to see as many as possible and watch for a long time early and late. They won't usually be in large open ones, but the smaller, secluded ones nearby (and go into the large ones at dark). Good luck [/QUOTE]
