I will be going to the Uncamphgre national forest area to try for a bull elk, over the counter tag.....anyone else going out?

Yeah, I'm planning on going to the lower Rio Grande NF this year.

I should be over for 2nd Rifle: GMU751 or thereabouts.

My partner and I'll be in area 52 again for cow elk. 2nd combined season.

yep, the annual thug elk hunt as usual, area 751, for cow elk, 2nd rifle.

I applied for a cow elk tag.....but they must have sold it to an out of state hunter for more $$$, LOL

I did get a muzzleloader deer tag, however, which I will probably fill on my neighbor's property. I won't buy an OTC elk tag for the unit I hunt....not very good odds on legal bulls.

Yeah, I was looking over the stat's last year and they looked pretty dismal in quite a few areas.

Too damn' warm by half - a negative incentive for elk carrying their winter coats.

We camped at 9,000' & most of the time it was T shirt weather. The elk were over on the high, northern slopes & way too far off for those of us limited to foot travel where they were.

I'll bet it's COLD this time......

I live west of Durango, at about 7,000 feet, and we have been having an exceedingly wet & cool/cold summer so far. It looks like Ireland it is so green where traditionally it is a lot drier/browner this time of year. Raining almost every day in the mountains above 7,500/8,000 feet. Visitors on the narrow gauge train to Silverton coming back hypothermic. Rained tonight like a duble****ed cow pizzin on a flat rok!! This is the wetest summer I have seen in many years.

Elk/deer/cows/horses getting so fat they may just explode
