I hate to give up on elk hunting, but the guys I have been hunting with go on the 3rd rifle season, and it is the wrong time for me to go hunting. I have a camp in ny and I miss hunting 2 to 3 weekends of hunting in there, and also miss all that time bowhunting in the next town. I think the next trip I go on will be a moose hunt with my brother and friends in Newfoundland. It is in September. My friends brother lives in Gunnison, and he has been after me and his brother to come out, we just happened to pick the 2 worst years to go out I guess. Gotta run, good luck to all.
