[QUOTE="dromsky, post: 1022318, member: 41694"] Be prepared/equipped for weather from-7 to 70, all in the same day, and have a backup plan if the elk are not there. We went to CO this year for my 1st time, 3rd rifle season. Historically speaking should have been a foot of snow on the ground around 9000'. It was 70 when we arrived and no snow anywhere, elk were still in summer mode at 11-12000'. We needed to move 20 miles to get at them and we were not ready. Elk hills are steep, think light packs, gear and guns. Hydrate, then hydrate some more. As mentioned be ready to de-bone an elk on the spot, its about your only option without horses. Get a mile off the road and you will lose most of the competition otherwise its a zoo in the well known areas during otc season. Take pictures, remember to have fun.:D [/QUOTE]
