[QUOTE="orion2000, post: 586850, member: 32578"] I did my second year of DIY Elk on Public Land in CO this year. As mentioned in other posts: > Good cardio - I am starting up again Jan 1st for next October. :) > Drop as much weight as you can. I lost 50 pounds over the past two years. I plan to loose another 20 between now and next October. > A big body elk will be 4 HEAVY packs of meat, PLUS a trip (last one) for the antlers and cape. Take good boots, pack, pack frame, knives, saw... And as many friends as you can muster... > Appropriate clothing. Each year we have started 2nd rifle with 50* to 60*F, sunny and dry. And left with 15* to 35*F and more than a foot of snow on the ground at 8,500 ft. (Upwards of 2 to 3 ft of snow at 11,000 ft). I have no idea how folks hunt the high country for 3rd and 4th rifle seasons... Finally, ENJOY ! It's a blast. I have yet to tag an elk. But, I look forward to doing it again in 2012 ! [/QUOTE]
