Archery Elk Season Preparedness?

[Tbob]

Mentally I'm at a level 10. Actually ready to go hunt?......? I'm at a solid 2. But that's how it goes with me.. Shooting is solid, calling is being practiced in the car everywhere I go.. Packing is usually done the week before I head out. It always comes together.. Can't believe it's that time of year again.. I've spent so much time and money scouting this year I'm really hoping it pays off for my first elk! I have 7 short days to get it done here in WA.. I'm in a 3pt min or cow unit, first legal elk to walk In front of my arrow is taking a dirt nap!!

Truck is ready!

Hope to get everything sighted in Thursday or Friday of next week.  Need to decide on a quiver

Go pick yourself up a Tight Spot 

I'm at about a solid 8 across the board. Gear in check, workout year round, have elk generally located, bow shooting well out to 120 (should be good at 70 for hunting), standing freezer empty, ready to notch my tag. Let's do this fellas!

With all the fire closures and other activities I've done this summer I'd say I'm more like a 5 or 6.  Will be getting everything ready this coming week.

Haven't done any scouting but the elk are in the same place every year. Will be getting the gear out this weekend. Been shooting all year and the broadheads are flying fine. Been working out and riding the bike. Not as lean as I should be, but strong. Got the RV set up. Ready to head out for 10 days of loveliness.

[D-Rock425]

Picking up broadheads tonight will shoot them this weekend.

90% ready to go, camp gear is cleaned, organized and packed up, camo is packed, hunt gear is packed  shooting is good, 2 more hard workouts and then I am outta here.  Really looking forward to this year.

9!!! pulling the trailer out to camp tonight to set up. its been a long summer waiting for my separated shoulder to heal but finally got back up to 70 lbs and sighted in! 10 more days and a wake up!

I am at a solid 9.5. Everything is completely at the ready and in a holding area until packing day, wed. next week.

I am at about a 6 right now. Physically fit, been shooting and have spots picked out. After this weekend I should be up to about a 9 as all my gear will be getting set out and then come next weekend a 10 after a costco trip for food.

The snag canyon fire burning my cabin down and much of my hunting area has really put a damper on my motivation.  I am still going to get after it and give it a whirl. My wife has a cow tag and they should be easy to see in the burn if they are still close by.  I just hope they open the woods.

I keep dreaming of the monarch bull who is so old he's a spike again and that silly Disney commercial keeps playing over in my head... Eight, eight more days!

If I'd have known there was a mature bull that was a spike around last year, then he'd already be dead.  I had him dead to rights at 40 but couldn't believe my eyes until I put the binos on him.  He stepped out of my life as I got back to full draw again.  I won't make that same mistake this year.

I'm ready!! Well almost, got nearly all I need, pick up a few things and were set!! Bow is shooting great(had to make a few adjustments. Which is weird, broad head / field tips usually fly the same on my bow. not this year??) hard to believe it's been a year!! Super excited, hope to put the bike trailer to use this year!!

Conditioning is good. 9.
Gear is always only 2 hours away from being ready to roll--other than I've had my tent in for repairs and need to pick it up, so only an 8.
Bow is ready, but I haven't been shooting it as much as most years=7.
Calling is better than ever thanks to Elknut and Phantom=8.
Truck is always ready to roll. 10.
Home front=2. Killing me. Don't have all the care givers I need for my wife. Don't even know when I get to hunt. If I don't solve this piece, I don't get to hunt.
