    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Yes they certainly do. They also have some small visible meadow areas amongst the timber. Good call on varying the Google Earth imagery I hadn't thought of that thanks.

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Yeah this will be my first elk hunt so I honestly wouldn't mind just locating elk, observing behavior, calling them etc. My biggest concern is just walking around for 7 days and not getting into sign or animals and thus learning less than I might have.

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Thanks for this. Yes I’m seeing some small meadows interspersed with the timber so maybe I’ll try to glass or call up into these areas to see if I can.

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Yeah good call. There are spots where I can likely glass up into them mornings and evenings to hopefully save my legs.

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    I'm doing some last minute second guessing on an elk archery hunt coming up September 10-17. I've been reading up on elk behavior during September as it relates to feed and temperature and elevation etc. I'm looking at an area that I hope is less traveled than other areas of the state in...

    I kind of want to buy one of these Hoochie Mama calls I keep reading about. The actual reviews on them are pretty good. But I will say that I think I’ve got cow calls going pretty well on my diaphragm.

    Archery Elk Hunting - Media Tactics vs Reality

    Ok good deal thanks. I’ll probably end up doing a mix of both (sitting and calling)just for the fun of it.

    Archery Elk Hunting - Media Tactics vs Reality

    I'm heading to CO in September (10-17) and have been consuming every YouTube video, book, podcast etc. I can find to educate myself on elk behavior and elk hunting during that time of the year. I've heard many people recommend covering lots of ground and calling often in order to locate bulls. I...
