Elk Hunting advice
osage outlaw:
We are looking at unit 74 or 42.
Hawkdancer:
Get in real good shape - then get in better shape! You will. Be working with at least 1/3 less oxygen in the air and a lot less humidity. Those are both pretty rugged areas, 42 not quite as bad and also right along I-70, so a bit easier to get to. If I remember correctly, both are about the 6,000-8,000' elevation level with a lot of straight up and straight down. You can get area maps that list public and private lands. Expect temperatures in September to be in the 80's during the day and below freezing at night, and dry conditions, unless there is an early blizzard! If we get a "normal" rainfall, and feed is available, the elk will likely be up high. Area 72 is in a severe drought right now, 42 isn't much better.
Good luck and good hunting! I should be getting some info from CPW soon regarding forecasts, so I will try to relay any pertinent info.

JEB:
I went years ago and the day before season the government buzzed the herds with choppers to break them up. That screwed us good so I would call and see if the still do that. Prepare to go thtu all 4 seasons, bring hard candy to help with altitude sickness and bring your trout rod.
osage outlaw:
I don't own a trout rod or any fly fishing gear JEB.
