Colorado rifle elk and seeing what the draws will bring. Staying out of a couple draws because of the drought but in general I’m in for a hunt or three in the Rocky Mountain states and the SW.
Well.. not buying an Idaho tag when they were available was a mistake. Not feeling to sure about Wyoming draws this year either. Might have to try for that ultra premium eastern Montana general deer shoot.
I can remember two good ones I’ve come across the last five or so seasons. Came across one while still hunting in a big deer unit. He really went to town on a 5 inch diameter tree, to the point the trunk was splintering, low branches all gone. If elk existed in that unit Ide have thought it...
I think first rifle starts on the 17th this year. That’s just a little late if you’re wanting to see a bit of the rut. 5 days isn’t all that much time to get it done.
