Elk Hunters Down 50%?
In my area outside Craig, Colorado it appeared the recession took quite a toll on the number of elk hunters... probably only about 50% as many hunters as usual in the camps along the road.
For the hard core ones, the ones that push back in a decent distance the count seemed to be the same. The elk definitely got the hell shot out of them the opening morning... sounded like a war zone.
Looks like the recession took a toll here too, early November and not much for elk hunting posts.
Either that, or this site kinda went downhill since I saw it last.
