We are hunting a new area so we dont really know what to expect, but cooler weather at night really helps get the herd moving back and forth between high and low.   

 

 

please be late rutt.

I'm not sure what unit you're going to but I've been up chasing elk around 38 and 29 with my 14 year old cousin on his first hunt. We had elk from 9-11k.

Back from 10 days of fishing in the Sierra Nevada mountains and this is what was in the campgrounds, the twins. This is at 7100' and night time lows of 26°-33°F.

I wish hunting was like that.

Grab a beer and sit on my porch. I'm sure you can find something. Take a ride on ATV behind the house I'm sure you can find something. Heck everyone always gets excited watching the elk across the road from my place and drooling. Joe Albertson as in the grocery store owner has a place across from me. Personally, I'm not the hunting nut.

I got a job where I have to use 4wd a lot. Would it be less likely to give me trouble and if I change out the vacuum hoses? They are original.

On my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 I'm planning some time this winter to do all fresh air brake tubing to replace all the vacuum lines. I've got vinyl tubing for now but engine heat does weird things to the tubing. Now that I've studied it a bit more I can clean up the vacuum routing a bunch. Way too many long runs and too much ran on a single connection which is a poor design which I followed. Being there is like 6 ports in the manifold I can separate a bunch of this and route it away from heat.

Yes, for a trouble free 4 wheel drive winter experience change out the original vacuum hoses.   Be sure to install only Mopar factory winter hoses.

I been to that store it's called the 'Hoser' up in the tundra at the end of main street in a shack in Yellow Knife. $49.99 a ft.

I like the meat, I could care less about the hunt.  I would be A-OK shooting a Elk tied to a tree. 

[Royal Squire]

If elk is tied to a tree you could just run up and cut off some steaks!

[JAG1]

Elk hunted me down when I stared too long at a female. Was in the Canadian Rockies and he was huge. He stopped running me down when I fell over a small stump.

Just don’t shoot one down in a hell hole where you have to bring your cooking gear to the elk.

He was laughing to hard to chase you anymore.

I bet you all forgot to change over to winter blinker fluid so the blinkers do freeze up in the winter.

 

 

Here's a coupon if anybody needs it.

[JAG1]

Major Blinker fluid shortages this year..... too many folks in the United States are staring at the Mopar1973Man forum.
