Default Elk Hunters...
As I explained in an earlier thread... Colorado Weather = Sybil.
"After a streak of record breaking heat, a very strong low pressure system will bring chilly temperatures and snow to Colorado on Friday."

How's the rain been out there this year Rick? Average? Above normal? Below normal (I hope!)

Looking to get an idea of how worthwhile "water" setups might be for elk when we come out there in another month.

Sorry Adam... I missed this one. I'd have to say average.

This is the info on Lake county:

Month-to-date precip. 1.03 "

Year-to-date precip. 7.42 "

http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...KLXV&almanac=1

This chart is an average annual precipitation for your area
