Colorado is known as the mecca for aspiring elk hunters, with a well-organized infrastructure that allows both residents and out-of-state hunters access to multiple hunting seasons.
Pro: Elk prefer cold weather. You are more likely to find elk during daylight hours, as opposed to having to hunt during the dusk and evening during late summer and early Fall.
Con: November is almost a month past the peak rutting season, making it difficult to find elk.
Con: Wind conditions can play havoc, given that elks have a very keen sense of smell.
