Whos going elk hunting?

[Trumpkin the Dwarf]

I live in elk country and I love it!

62" Toelke Whip drawn to roughly 64 lbs at my 31" draw length. Full length GT 7595 trads with 100 gr. brass insert, 100 grain broad head adapter and 165 gr Simmons tree sharks...total weight guesstimated in the low to mid 700 gr range.

Like Trumpkin, I'm lucky enough to live in prime elk country.  I usually take two hunts.  One the first week of Sept and one the last.  Same spots the last few years.  We hunt a jem of a spot for the opener.  Here's the bull video I posted last year of the bull we called into camp the evening BEFORE the opener!  We were just messing around bugling and this toad brought his harem within range.  I ended up taking one the satellites in the area.  But this year may be the year?   I'll keep you posted.

Northern CO for me with a few other Tradganger's.  Hackbow will be getting to Indy from Pittsburgh Thursday 9/1 and we'll make the 18 hour drive for a backpack hunt until 9/11.  I've got several spots marked on the GPS and pretty much have spent the last 2 weeks touring it on Google Earth.  Putting the finishing touches on my elk missiles in the next couple days.  I'm using the bow I received from the TG Bowyer's Bench bow swap.

 

I'm dialing it in and getting decent groups nowadays.  I'm hoping to get out this weekend for a backpack squirrel hunt to test some of my long range shooting skills in the mountains of Indiana.

[East Coast archer]

I feel bad for you guys who are only hunting a week or so.  Leaving NJ 8/29 and don't have to be back to work until 9/29!  Drew a Unit 49 tag in CO and plan on getting one even if it takes about the whole season!!  Good luck to everyone and a word of caution to the virgins,  it's like other things in life, once you do it you can't stop
