I feel like this is relevant to moose and I have a moose hunt next year so I figured I would throw this up in the moose section as well. I just got back from 4 days elk hunting, we got 5 inches of snow and had constant wind about 20 mph with gusts up to 40. We never saw an animal before coming home. there are always exceptions but how much wind is too much for elk to want to move around? I've tagged out on this OTC unit for the last 5 years in a row so I feel good about knowing where the elk like to hang around, we hiked hoping to find some track in the snow but either the elk didn't get up or the wind blew over their track and i'm not a good enough tracker to know the difference which is very possible. When you're out in the field and the wind is ripping at what point do you stay in the tent vs get out to call and glass?
