Just curious how many of you guys/gals go out later in the season. I won't be able to make it to my elk spot in September this year, but I can swing a quick trip in the first week of October. Never been after them later in season and being a novice elkaholic I don't really know what to expect.

In October they tend to be on the move headed for wintering areas. It can be one of the best times to hunt if there is early snow.

October is a great time to call in screaming bulls.
