In my opinion the elk will be where they are. Not being a smart a** but they will just go about their business as usual. Hunting Pressure seems to he the deciding factor.
:yeah:
in wa ive watchd them sit in the middle of clear cuts during some realy nasty rain an wind storms allllll day.. :dunno:
in id ive watched them hide in thick timber during nasty snow storms.. :dunno:
in wa ive had em hide during snow storms..and then ive had em hang out in then open all coverd in snow :dunno:
if there's thunder an lighting tho hard telling...i don't have to much experience with this but this year during those September storms the elk went crazy an ran for cover..an never ever stopd running it seemd
pretty much you find elk where ya find em..lol good luck

I didnt realize wet side deer hunker down in the rain, I see more deer in the pooring rain than nice weather usually. I agree with JPhelps :tup:

Rain doesn't affect them at all, but the wind usually does. Like has been said already, I've seen them lay out in the middle of huge clearcuts all day. Since they can't count on their nose they rely on their eyesight to spot danger. Either that or heaviest nasty timber they can find!
:yeah:

They are a lot more sensitive to people then a little bit of rain. It takes quite a bit of snow before they start changing their routines.

I agree.
When I was really ambitious I loved to hunt BTs when the weather was so nasty that the power would go out. If the limbs and trees were falling I was hitting little swails in the larger cuts.
