Who's hunting elk this year?

I'll be in Idaho chasing elk in the early season and you'll find me in Utah squawking on a cow call during the late season.... and if memory and tradition serves me correctly eating tag soup sometime around February. I've got a real good recipe perfected over the years for tag soup and salad...

Been to Montana and Idaho once each, but haven't connected yet. Going on a DIY backpack hunt to SW Colorado this year with my brother. Leaving Sept 6, getting stoked!

How many years in a row does this make, Bill? You've made a mighty impressive and successful run of hunts...

Going into the Mt. Zirkel wilderness area in northern Colorado for the first week of elk season. Looking forward to revisiting the Colorado mountains. Plan to visit my son and his family in Colorado Springs prior to the hunt.

Hey Daryl, this is my 49th year to be in Colorado during the fall. The mountains are a second home to me. I was just born in the wrong state!

Wish you were coming to join me again this year. Still hoping you can make it out .

Not for me this year. Hunting Kansas in Oct and Nov with my brother instead. Seems like a good trade to me. Although I do miss my elk hunting.

49 years, Bill! I think the state of Colorado should issue you a complimentary permit next year.

Elk, deer, and bear tags... Your game processor in Cortez is going to be a v-e-r-y busy gal!

Wish I could be there to see the stars and enjoy the fresh air and good company.

Good luck to all the elk hunters on this thread. There's no better animal to chase with a stick and string!!!

I'll be in the Uncompahgre National Forest for the 1st 3 weeks. Going on 12 years straight, what a great time! Going with 5 of my friends.

Montana for me. DIY south of Ennis.

I hunt them every day. In my mind...

I'm sitting out this year, but have every intention of heading back out next year. Good luck to all of you!

I had to use my vacation for construction projects on my farm. No elk this year, going back in 2015 again though. I can't wait.

Good luck to everyone going this year.
