Elk and weather question
« on: November 02, 2014, 07:47:37 PM »
Hey guys
I think I remember a thread on weather and elk movement, I was in 651 today and it was coming down like a cow pissing on a flat rock.
My question is how does the rainy weather effect there movement ? i went high then low and stayed close to the tree line. do they bed? limit there movement?
I plan on being out everyday any help would be appreciated because it looks wet all week

Thanks

Rain doesnt effect them to much.  The wind can get them to hunker down but eventually they gotta eat.

i have found there movement to be very sparatic they will move a lot and than not much at all. but they will still get up 2-4 times a day to feed and stretch out there legs. so if you can locate them and you can't get a shot ,bed them let them lay for a bit and crawl as close as you can and just wait for them to get up and move . then just hope
