Not to hijack the thread, KC, but...

While a full moon and warm weather are not good news for the elk hunter, it is proven that elk don't need the moon to see at night. I have numerous game camera photos of elk feeding in pitch black darkness. Would be interesting to hear a biologist chime in on this subject.


2 weeks ago I was in the timber at daylight with 5-6" of fresh snow that ended late the previous afternoon. 250 sets of elk tracks later, 249 of them going downhill obviously in the middle of the night (but there was a moon out). The one confused bull that was sidehilling I managed to run down and kill him...............
