[QUOTE="Caveman0101, post: 1506941, member: 10852"] We've killed several late season elk on up in the day I'd say till 11 if it's cold, then early afternoon about 2:30 or so. If it is cold they won't actually lay down for very long but they will go into there bedding area and just mill around an feed for hours. They usually linger out in the open until the sun hits them for a while if no one is shooting at them. Lots of times you can find small groups of bulls together. Year before last I saved my tag till the final morning because we had already filled 4 tags. I really had no intentions of shooting an elk, but walking down a drainage I passed 6 good bulls, then the 7th my buddy talked me into taking was a huge bull 330". To tell the truth, it didn't take much arm twisting, but I would not have shot him had I been alone. I was really only looking to shoot a calf but everywhere we looked,.. more bulls. O' well that's just hunting I guess;) [/QUOTE]
