Who is missing out??
« on: September 04, 2012, 08:42:23 AM »
This is probably the hardest day of the year to be at work. Every year seems to be the same. Plan on going the first week and get swamped at work to the point I cant take of work.
Who else is stuck at home or work?
How long until we get to see some victory pictures?
Good luck all and be safe!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I'm stuck with a torn hamstring, torn meniscus and a bulged disc.  I'm hoping to be able to hit early muzzy elk but not too confident right now.

Not really stuck considering I have till the 24th till school starts up. But decided to sit this opener out because my daughter asked me to take her to her first day of 1st grade. You only see those things once but elk opener is every year.

Hope you heal up and make it out!  :)
a few years ago when my back blew out, I decided to go hunting anyway. Was not a good idea! Took me an hour each morning to get up and crawl out to leave. I could walk into the woods maybe 100 yards and I was done. So most of my trip was either at camp or road hunting. And with my back shot I could feel every bump, every pothole, and every piece of gravel, lol. It was miserable.

I don't get any paid time off, so I'm stuck to just weekends, and maybe an extra day if I can afford it. And this time of the year through Christmas is always the toughest financially for some reason. There has been many times I've had to stay home because I couldn't even afford the gas to go. Wish I could hunt deer and elk earlier in the year after I get my tax returns! That would work out great! :chuckle:
That wasn't me! It was a black Camaro! It went that way!

My season hasn't started yet..... But I will be out there for the whole deer and elk season if need be.... What is really driving me crazy is I haven't been on one bear hunt yet this year..... I have baby sitter and transportation for the kids all worked out for while my wife is working..... This Saturday will be my first hunt of the year!!!!

Stuck at work myself. 5:00 cannot come fast enough, then I've got over a week to run around the woods. All my hunting buddies have been over since Saturday. Seen bulls and bears every day, not to mention cows.

I'm working this week but get to head out Saturday for the rest of the season.  Let's hope the weather turns...it's too hot this week anyway.

Only a 4 day early season for me, this weekend and next. Already used up my vacation time for this year which is fine, didn't draw anything, next year though when I draw that quality bull tag I'm taking both weeks off. :tup:
