Suggestions after some nasty weather
« on: December 10, 2014, 07:59:25 PM »
What's the consensus opinion on what the critters will be doing after a nasty day of wind and rain like tomorrow is supposed to be?  I would think that they would be out moving around a bit more, but what has your experience been?

They may be moving a bit, but the better option would have been to chase them in the nasty weather.

Had considered doing that tomorrow, but not sure how thrilled I am about being in the woods with 70+ mph winds.

It generally pushes the elk into the open in my experience . I'd be glassing cuts with re prod.

In case you didn't know stay out of the timber limbs and tops break off and could hurt you or even worse

x2 big wind and heavy rain bring them out of the nasty crap they love..bring a chain saw in case you have to cut your way back out of an area...
