I've been married for 24 years now. My wife knows how important hunting is to me. It hasn't been EZ over the years. I have 5 daughters and all have killed deer and my wife too. That's all we ate for meat. She knows how important this tag is. She rides bikes and I'm getting her involved in my scouting. Bike riding behind gates. Honey does are real important right now. Do your thing around the house and include her in your scouting. BTW, sex in the woods is great. ;)   
Good advise ! LOL  :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm going out of my mind as well.  I have spent tons of mornings and evenings looking for the elk of a lifetime.  I got drawn for one of the best westside elk tags and it is on my mind 24/7.  My wife isn't real happy about me being gone a lot, but she is coming around.  This is going to be a good year, great elk hunt and having our third boy about a month later.  I have seen some real monsters already this year and it just makes it worse for me.  I am just doing everything I can to prepare, exercising, shooting, and fine tuning all the little things.  This is the first year I am muzzleload elk hunting, so I get to see how my calling techniques work or not.  I am also trying to get better at field judging elk because there are 350" plus bulls in the unit.    Good luck to all you out there and lets see pictures when they hit the ground.

Amen that!  The only thing better than being in the woods in September with a tag and a weapon, listening to the elk bugle as the late afternoon light filters through the trees - is doing all of that while taking a break from the hunt with your busty, blond hunting partner!  (She was a raging b*tch when she wasn't happy, the ex, and I don't miss her - but she had her moments!).
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Scouted Lick Creek last weekend for modern fire, have talked to many people / authorities familiar with the area.  Plan many more trips before my season opens Oct 25th.  It's exciting, treating this like an OIL tag, for me it is.  I still ponder if I see a 330 - 340 bull on opening day if I will take it or hold out for bigger.  Understatement....I'm Stoked!

I have been putting in for a bull tag for 19 years and have never drawn.  I only put in for Toutle and Margaret because they are close to home.  I started with archery, then went modern and now muzzle loader.   This year me and my buddy put in as partners and drew the muzzle loader toutle bull.  I started hunting muzzle loader 6 years ago because of my work schedule and the Coweeman unit (my back yard) has a good late muzzle season when I'm usually laid off.  Can't believe I finally got drawn for a tag.  Had to go down and get a new knight big horn and some more elk calls.  Work has been so hectic that scouting is limited to sundays and my dreams, but many of my friends work in the woods and have been keeping me in the loop.

 Lots of bulls to be had this year.............Its gonna be a couple months before I stop twitching.  Did you hear that????????  Does any body else smell elk????????  Hang on I think theres somethin movin by those trees.

I got the umptaneum hunt, I have had few nights with out elk showing up in my dreams ever since. Luckily I have alot of work to do before the season. I have to get all of my school work completed early as to take the Whole week off, and not be distracted. In preparation though i've been on here looking at maps doing some scouting and some working out to guarantee I will be in shape. Hopefully this year I will get my first Elk. If not the opportunity is always nice just to get out in the woods, plus i also got drawn for a regular season cow tag as a fall back hahaha. :)
I hunt for peace of mind.

PA BEN -
I got drawn for the Hancock Timberlands Elk hunt.  I went out yesterday and saw a monster.  He was with a decent 6X6 who I was watching and then Bruiser poped out of the alder thicket and dwarfed the 6X6.  Like I said before, I'm not good at judging elk but he was the biggest elk I've ever seen.  My buddy shot a 354" bull out of Alkali a few years back and this bull was as big if not bigger. 
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
