What’s the weather been like up there this year? Wet/dry? How does that affect the elk season?I sweated out the long wait for the Sawtooth Tag and even though I jumped in early, I wasn't sure when I got on. Fortunately I did draw an elk tag! So, I'm set. My two partners got tags too. It is shaping up to be a much better year than last year. So it is two bow tags and two rifle tags this year. The hammers will get a chance.
So far we are having a very normal summer! A fair share of thunderstorms in your unit. There should be plenty of green on the mountains and water for the elk. Just keep praying we have no fires in our hunt units!What’s the weather been like up there this year? Wet/dry? How does that affect the elk season?

I’ve got a pound on you with mine. Added a carry handle to mine. Helps when walking areas without lots of vegetation.At times it felt like I carry a bass boat! Weight in at 13lbs
Thank you for your comments and thank your son for his service.Congratulations, and you did it with your own, worked up Handload! You have entered a "Special Club", lol. I had built and set up a 300 RUM for my Marine Son in Law back in 2006. He was returning from his second tour of Iraq and I was two things: proud of him and "bribing" him for grand babies"! ha. I used a case full of Retumbo and the 200 NAB. He put a Huskemaw "dialemin" on it. He later popped a cow elk a tad over 440yds, great shot with a great elk round! Hammers would be my choice today, but alas, scarce brass/ammo. None for me, I do OK with the 300 Win Mag, but I am not a LR Hunter. If I can get my 338/06 even to 2980 with the 175 HH I am running right with 300WM factory 180 speeds! Gotta love Hammers! So glad for you buddy, you did good!
