Who's hunting Colorado's 1st rifle elk season. I'm hunting in SW Colorado. Looks like it's going to be warm & dry. Good for camping but not for hunting. Good luck to all.

I'll be there!! Forecast is really looking too warm!! Combine that with a full moon, the season being a week later than normal (further from the rut?) and it may be tough hunting. I have not heard any reports on the rut. The deer forecasts based on the moon indicate it would be later this year. I hope that applies to elk too and they are still bugling during 1st rifle. They usually are where I hunt and that really makes it easier!

I'll be out there. good luck to you. agreed lots of things coming together to make for a weird 1st rifle. my bowhunting buddies reported VERY little bugling this year, and elk in much smaller "herds" than normal. I'll have a report in a couple weeks.

On the way to work this morning I saw two nice bucks with about 5 does. Seems early to be seeing them with does. Riverdog, Had to make a run up there(Grand county) middle of August. Saw two different pairs of bucks on opposite sides of the ranch both pair were hanging close with a different solitary doe. Two were really nice bucks. We'll be up for second rifle in a couple of weeks.

Forecast for Larimer County that hunt looks pretty spring like. Lows in 40s, high up to 70. No precip showing.

Nothing better than hunting with the kids. I think that's why my dad hunts with me - strong back, weak mind.
