High country elk in September!
Keenan:
Kenneth, Our general bow season starts August 27th and Wades hunt started August first and goes clear through to the end of Oct. I'm going to get camp set up soon as well. Nothing real deep in the wilderness though. Still having some back issues and I think the horse ride in would do me in. Also Wade is getting his tonsells out on the 22nd so he's going to be sore for the first part.
Going in our lower area that we've hunted the last few years. Not as much elk but I think I have that area figured out fairly well now. There is so much snow this year that several areas are still in excessable and the mosquitoes are severe as well.
Keep us posted on your hunt and best of luck to you both. Keenan

Kenneth, when you say cool, how cool are we talking ??
I'm wishing for some cool mornings myself here in VA.

Glenn, When I asked Kenneth last week about the weather he said the temps where he lives were in the high 80s to 90s (but that is dry heat! ::) ). When I talked to him this morning it was raining and cooling down a bit. Up in the mountains it can be 10 to 20 degrees cooler. He and Kathie were heading out this morning on horseback with 2 pack horses to get "stuff" into where camp will be. They will take the food and his cloths in next weekend so when I get there we can walk in relatively light. ;D
A guy on TredGang the other day said he was somewhere in the Colorado high country a few weeks ago and the temps went from the 80's down to the 40's with 2" hail within a few hours. Up there you have to be ready for anything.
Keenan:
Yep Pat is right, The high country can drop down to freezing in a heartbeat. We were up at the Newberry Crater here in Central Oregon last Monday and it froze that night. Mid eighty's the next day.
Pat B:
Below freezing sounds pretty good to me right now!!!
