Ok everyone, brand new member here. Went elk hunting out in Colorado once last year and I am hooked. I am going Mule Deer hunting in Wyoming this year with a buddy only because he's more of a deer hunter and I have just absolutely fallen for elk hunting.
I am an adult onset hunter in general but even more new to Elk. So, please forgive my ignorance but I have to ask to learn right?
I hear people talk about "thermals" all the time. Whats the deal? When it increases in temperature then your scent will likely be pulled up? My thinking here is things tend to rise or expand when warming so is the same true with scent? If it cools down the. your scent will be fall downward into a canyon?
I am just guessing here based on the context that I've heard it talked about in and generally what I understand about the world. Any further explanation or clarification anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
TIA - Ryan
