Warmer = higher opening-day hold probability on public land.
● Numbered orange = predicted elk pocket. ● Green = where you set up. Before 11 AM = sit below (morning thermals fall, shoot up); After 11 AM = sit above (thermals rise, shoot down); strong forecast wind overrides to downwind. Set your min–max range from the elk + Go; the dot lands at the farthest clear-sightline spot in that band. Line of sight is checked against the real ~90 m elevation profile — an amber dot means no clear shot inside your band (the pocket is tucked; plan a stalk).
