SW Montana - Elk migrations

[stealthy_bowman]

With the seasons this year seeming to go from summer directly to winter, with little in-between, are you folks from SW Montana seeing some earlier elk movement from the high elevations to transition areas, or even to wintering grounds already?

Nope, it'll take a lot more snow to get them to move. I'm finding elk either high and deep, or on private lands that limit hunting, and it's from the hunting pressure of bowhunting.

Hunter pressure will move them quicker than any weather. And there's lots of it.
