[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 1254187, member: 40852"] Well, I'll start with my experiences. When I applied for a license in this area I was figuring that there would be enough snow and cold to drive the elk out of the mountains. However the weather in Colorado has been warm and dry this year. Apparently the elk have a really good hiding place in the mountains. Probably 10 miles from the nearest road at above 10,000 feet. We ended up hunting the Routt National Forest between 9,000 and 10,500 ft and only saw a few sets of hoof prints over the five days. We would walk in on a trail using a very slow progression looking for sign or animals then we would typically take a cross country path out. We would spend some time sitting in one spot too. We didn't even hear many gun shots. We saw one cow hanging in a camp and one bull on a trailer in town. Oh well, maybe next year. I was just wondering if other people had similar experience. [/QUOTE]
