Colorado elk scout report, update #3

[jhg]

Boy, the animals are looking good this year! The deer are FAT, the elk SASSY!

Its wet now, and more came as we hiked out this weekend. My buddy pulled the classic Western faux paux- left his thin thermal gear in the truck and was one cold, wet and miserable guy by the time we got to the trailhead. Hey, it can get cold above 10,000 feet!
Good food pockets and the early season worries about water are much less now.

Good to hear Josh. I got out this weekend as well, things are a lot greener that earlier and we saw over 100 head of elk! And did they ever look good! Could this be the year i break my curse? Good luck everyone, UT starts in less than 3 weeks

Well i made it out to my area for a quik overnite scouting trip and things are definately going to be different this year. I didn't find any water in areas we had it in last year at the higher elevations (above 10,500) so we'll definately be looking lower I did see 3 cows and 2 calves in one group and a lone yearling cow a little later so i'm thinking my trip was a huge success!
