OK, I'm giving serious consideration to setting up a spike camp in the back country while Elk hunting in CO during 2nd season (late Oct) this yr.
I want to get your input on camp site selection. More specially do's and don't about where. I got some things like not being next to the creek or on top of a mountain if there a chance of a (thunder) storm.
But what about:
How far from where you think you might be on elk?
Is it acceptable/advisable to setup in or on the edge of the dark timber?
What if high winds are expected, stay in the dark timber? (widow makers)
I assume you want to keep a low visibility profile? (not in the middle of a meadow or be sky lined) correct?
Do you hang your food every night? (if blk bears might be in the area).
