What weather do you prefer for a September backcountry bowhunt for elk?

[beran_10]

I'm curious what other hunters think. What would be your ideal weather conditions if you were on a backcountry bow hunt in September for bugling elk?


I guess I prefer highs in the 50's, low's in the low 20's, overcast with a passing overnight rain shower every other night, light winds, and a new moon.

Ya you nailed it ,but how often does that happen,so best prepare for anything.

fully agreed.  maybe overnight temps in the 30's is all I'd say different.

Elk Addict your pretty spot on but like Turbo Said: how often does that happen... usually i run into 80+ degree temps when im hunting.  I would love to hunt anything less than 70 degrees.

I like it to be in the 50-60 degree range and the mid 30s-40s at night since I do almost all backpack hunting and I'm not carrying a tent usually but a tarp for emergency rain haha. I can't believe it is only 3 1/2 months away!
