2weeks...4 days.. and... 17 hours until elk season

[joe ashton]

It's getting close.  I went scouting yesterday.  Lots of sign..  this is the time of year that it gets hard to sleep.  The anticipation is palpable.
I hope you all will have a memorable, successful season.

ANTISIPATION......
Kinda part of the fun .

I feel your pain. I'm hoping that it cools off a bit by Sept 1 around here, and some moisture wouldn't hurt, either. I'm a way better elk hunter than elk killer, but when the bulls are bugling, there is no place better to be than in the high country.
Good luck this season!

Can't wait!

I look forward to archery elk season more than just about anything.  This will be year number 21 chasing elk with a bow in my hand.  The anticipation is indeed high.

I leave Aug 31, my son and I will be hunting for two weeks. I don't normally hunt the early season so this will be new to me. I have a few more things to get in order, but already my mind is in the mountains. I was gifted this 10x12 canvas wall tent. My son and I are going to use it as base camp, then have spike camp as needed. So far I have 25 dollars in some lumbar for support poles and side poles.

I'm eagerly anticipating!

This year most of my hunting will be in a low percentage unit close to home due to health of my spouse, but it hasn't dulled the excitement.

Just being there is something to be thankful for.  If there are no elk there, I'll pretend there are.

I am heading out for the last 2 weeks, can't wait!!!

Leaving Sept 14th

[Michael Arnette]

Jeeze it is coming up fast!

[Carcajou]

I'll be in 'Rado in a month, chasing Wapiti in the High Country too, cant wait.

[Burly]

Good luck and safe travels everyone. Maybe someday I will be going also.

I have been doing this since 1994.  It never disappoints.  Didn't get drawn in AZ so heading to CO for the first week then Idaho.  My daughter is now the wolf biologist for Idaho game and fish out of Lewiston.  I figure they will tell her where the elk are.

And you'll tell me right....

I'm taking Knobby out to see if he can still keep up at 12,000' for the opener. Elk and deer tags. Can't wait!

[Chain2]

A month from tomorrow heading to the Bridger

[knobby]

FoCo, I'm not worried about "keeping up", I'll get there eventually!  Looking forward to it.
