[QUOTE="ColoradoElkHunter, post: 2308366, member: 116731"] This sounds familiar. I used to hunt Colorado's late season cow tag when it was still over the counter. My hunting buddy and I hunted it 5 years in a row and got elk every time. Season started the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Every opening day for those 5 years it opened with an arctic cold front coming in. Leave my home at -10 and 20 minutes later in the vally/meadow area we hunted it was ALWAYS below -20 and still dropping even with the sun up. We process our own meat and it just became too much to thaw each quarter before we could begin to cut it up. My wife didn't like me taking over the kitchen area with frozen meat everywhere. lol The hardest part was field dressing. Even trying to use the gutless method it was an extreme chore. The hide and elk would simply freeze faster than you can work. Miss those hunts but not the cold. [/QUOTE]
