Taking a general census of what you folks have noticed as the effect on elk in prior years.
What have you noticed they do? Act? What's the same/different behaviorally?
I do understand that it depends on area etc but I'm just looking for any behavioral tips. The area I'm hunting is fairly smokey even though the fires aren't really near the area. Although one is a 4-5 miles as the crow flies to a fire. Here in MT it's been BAD this year. One of the biggest is down the valley from my place and I frequently get to see it explode under winds etc
