Yeah, it looks to be very warm (Highs in the 50's!).. The full moon also starts the day after 1st rifle starts, so that sucks.. Looks like I will be hitting the dark timber pretty hard as I'm sure they will be bedded for most of the day being as warm as it is and the full moon to their advantage.

Yeah it seems like the weather is warm pretty often for 2nd season. I remember snow once on 2nd season.
Just going to have to go deeper and steeper this year.

What GMU are you hunting? Southern Colorado?
In reading about your hunt plans, just curious what area you're hunting? For some reason, I came to think you were hunting in the area where I live, but then I can't see anything here that says that. Perhaps I got you confused with someone else?

I hear you! Dark Timber we must go. Hopefully we can keep our streak going. we have killed elk or deer every year. As I am telling you this I am knocking on wood. haha

I'll be out 2nd rifle with a cow tag with another Hunttalker and a buddy of mine. My first time in the area and my buddy's first ever elk hunt (he's got a cow and bull tag), so it should prove to be quite the adventure.

What unit?
Good luck to all. My only hunt in Colorado was first rifle and the second night of the season it started snowing and when I crawled out the the next morning snow was knee deep. It was also in the teens at night. I guess elevation has a lot to do with it also.

Dunno where all you guys are hunting, but if you're in Unit 80, or near Monte Vista, and need something packed out, the horses are looking for an adventure! Ha!
I have 3 weeks yet before my trip to Colorado.I have a 3rd season deer tag in unit 62.Curious to hear all your reports from 2nd season.I'm on the fence about grabbing an elk tag for my hunt.If u guys have a tough 2nd season,I think it'll b worth having an elk tag

Wow! It amazes me how far some of you guys travel to hunt these critters. I am down to under a six-hour drive this year to hunt elk. I normally do 10 hours and that seems like a lot to me. I stay home for the deer!
Many of you will drive right by my house, seven miles east of North Platte, north side of the interstate, big house on a hill.
Full coolers to you all!
