    Early or Late for archery?

    Assuming a month or so archery season, I like the early part and trying to pattern them. If I cant get it done in the opening 7-10 days Ill be back for the last week of the season. If I lived close, Id hunt them all September.

    Which gaiter

    Obviously a little late for your third season rifle hunt, but I just picked up my first ever pair of Kuiu Yukon Gaiters. I loved them.

    Sheep herders in national forest

    Definitely wise to avoid the sheep/dogs. In my experience, when the sheep move in the elk move out.

    Trail Cam Locks: Worth it?

    One swipe from a bear takes the camera right off the python lock (see photo)...I imagine a human could do something similar if they wanted. I always use the python locks but am going to start with some bear boxes.

    Transporting elk from CO to East Coast

    I've always boiled it before transporting out of state (also from CO to PA). I've never been stopped on the way back home but have heard of it happening.

    First Time Elk Hunting / Solo?

    This...I think going alone helps too. I learn faster when having to figure things out by myself. Plus, in those units you will probably bump into enough people that can offer pointers if you need them.
