Very much so. Three more days of work then I have the entire season off. First bull tag in my pocket. Getting hard to concentrate on anything else...

I was just thinking the same thing!  I am headed over sunday but I work 48hrs starting opening day which kind of sucks but oh well....luckily I work in Yakima so it is close to where we will be hunting.

Going crazy, last day at work today haven't really been here for the last couple.  I have the whole early season off.  Good luck everyone!

I'm dying to get outta here.  Have to entertain Corp types from head office this morning and then I can get some real work done this afternoon.  Buddy is going up this afternoon or first thing tomorrow.  I will be up there tomorrow evening or Saturday morning!  Then in the woods for three weeks, 1/2 here in WA and 1/2 in New Mexico!  Bull tags for both places!

Partners are setting up the wall tents today, I gotta work today and tomorrow. I'll head up Sunday with my 8 year old boy and hunt dear Sunday and Monday with him, then momma comes and picks him up and it's game time for the rest of Elk season! He woke me up this morning  saying dad we only have 3 days till we go!! That made my day!!
