[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 323370, member: 505"] You are right about the Wyoming weather. We have had the wettest, coldest summer/fall on record where I live. Ruined my elk hunt for a monster bull on a premium tag. I was busy working on my house the first week but I wasn't worried because the season was three weeks long. Third day of the season it started snowing and kept snowing and turned bitter cold below zero. Very atypical for where I was. The elk headed for the wintering areas on private land I could not hunt. I waded through deep snow and cold temps for 7 days looking for a huge one but just couldn't cover enough country in the deep snow. The big bulls had left out with the cows to lower elevations or been shot out of the herds while they were bugling before the snows while I was working on the house. I found quite a few 6x6 bulls in the 260-310 range and finally took a very heavy old bull the day before the seaon ended. It would have been a fantastic hunt in a general unit but the snows ruined a tag that takes years to draw. [/QUOTE]
