co elk this year

Yes, it was warm early, but then we had a week of intermittant or steady cold rain in the middle.

Went on my first last fall. Camped out for a week  in the Routt Nat'l Forest. Camped at a trail head and went in to hunt daily, no game was taken but a great time was had. Beautiful country and real learning experience. Spent just over $900 total. I went with Cyclic Rivers from this site. We split the gas and food. He got a OTC tag for either sex and I got a cow tag. Cow tag was almost $200 cheaper. Was great time and I would go again. I hope you have a great hunt!!

I agree with Wacko_One. Make sure your hunting partners can handle a 10 day hunt under adverse conditions. I was supurised by some of my hunting buddies reaction to such conditions. I believe that mental preparation is just as important as the physical. Enjoy the Rockies!
