RE: I got a 6X7 bull last night....a real keeper.
feddoc, I just got back from 68 after my 2nd season hunt. Hopefully you will get some cooler weather because they were laying low. Not to get you discouraged, but no one in our camp, or any other camp we talked to had even seen one before we left. I did see a Canadian Lynx, which was a big thrill, but no elk. Our camp was at 10,000ft and we went up and down from there. One hunter we talked to said there were more fresh signs on the western part of the unit (we were in the Round Park area). I think it was just too hot. It was mid to upper 60's during the day, and mid 30's overnight. I left a 1/4 full bottle of water out every night, and it never froze. That's the second year in a row we had warm weather during 2nd season. I think it's time to change my strategy. Good luck to you!
