Hello,
Fairly new to elk hunting and will be hunting in Colorado 4th season for elk unit 444. Obviously the elk will be far from people and smart to stay alive. My plan hike high and far away hoping the road hunters stir them up my way.
Im guessing this winter will have a lot of snow and by early November the snow could be fairly deep. I was considering hiking up north on Meredith to the high country away from the service roads or even the south east corner of the unti where theres some pockets by the high country.
I guess the real question is how much snow in your experience does it take to push elk down from the 11k mountains to the low lands? Ive heard 16 inches but the I'm not sure how accurate that is.
Thanks,
Pat
