So far the season has been pretty slow, with just two bucks taken (Allen B. and Ernie P.) after 63 "hunter days" during the first 12 days. We had one day of freezing morning temps and two days of light rain. The second and third days after each "weather" event produced greater numbers of deer seen, but no parade of migrating bucks as might be expected.
Currently the General Elk Rifle season is in progress with only three or four hunters making the effort this year. With the number of elk seen during deer season you might expect some success this year. I guess after two years of pretty much seeing nothing, even seeing some elk this week could be considered success.
Muzzleloader elk season is still three plus weeks away, but as the nights are getting colder (at least in the high 30's in the valleys) anticipation builds in hopes of good hunting weather.
