My only point was, you said it backwards. No big deal, just wanted to correct it for the OP.

In most of the places I hunt, the morning breeze blows downhill until the air warms up, some time between 9 and 10 AM, when it reverses. That's for the early seasons in September, before daylight savings time kicks in.

And it generally reverses and blows downhill around dusk, and stays that way all night long while the elk are most active. That's why you want to (generally) camp down hill from where they hang out and feed at night.

Of course, most people can cite examples of how and when they've broken these rules and still killed elk.



A wise man is frequently humbled.
