Elk Season off to a slow start

The archery elk season seems to be off to a slow start due to warm weather and a full moon on the opener. Hunters I talked to this weekend reported seeing and hearing a few elk but not many. A lot of people were also in the woods with the Labor Day weekend the same as the archery opener. So with the increased traffic and the warm weather elk and deer are at the top of the timber pockets in the highest basins.
