Theres always room for improvement. Good luck!

wabearhunter · « **Reply #2 on:** August 22, 2010, 08:55:15 PM »

not fully ready as my max range is about 8 yards right now haha.

if i go any farther every shot is not within a 6" group (most though). i think when the season starts if i can get every shot within 6" group from 10 yards i should be fine. gonna nail a 3 point mulie this season

Button Nubbs · « **Reply #3 on:** August 22, 2010, 08:59:56 PM »

The bows tuned, I'm shootin good, the stands hung, and the plan is in place for deer. Now elk, that's a different story but I'm hoping to figure that out next weekend...

I'm always fully ready but I'll wait until late season like usual, let the impatient guys weed out the dinks! LOL!!

D-Rock425 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:28:05 AM »

I'm ready. I have 2 stands hung for elk. A nice blackie 4pt picked out watched him last year and saw him a few times early this summer I just hope the logging in the area didn't push him out. I should be good on broadheads I have 14 wac'ems and 12 slick tricks all tuned and ready to go.

Little Fish · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2010, 03:56:43 PM »

Not yet. I won't get to hunt until the 10th/11th which is about 3 weeks away so I will be doing things every day between now and then. I'm not exactly starting cold as I've been shooting several times a week since June and running for the past month. I mostly need to do more of the same plus pack and stage my gear.

halflife65 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:04:46 PM »

Been shooting broadheads every morning before work and just went through my daypack stuff to see if there was anything that I needed. Seems like I'm good to go there. I just need to go through my camping stuff (will do so this week) to make sure everything is in good shape and I'm ready.

I haven't really been that excited yet, but I'm starting to feel the anticipation now.

Instinct · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2010, 07:55:19 PM »

ready as ill ever be. just picked up my pack today to replace the one that got stolen back in janurary (badlands 2200). put my stuff in there. gotta get the camping stuff ready. pretty stoked

JBar · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2010, 03:42:27 PM »

I'm ready! I'm ready! Bring on 9-1-10

JCClement · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2010, 03:46:42 PM »

Let's see:

20 pounds heavier than I would want to be.
Shot very little all year.
Three week old baby in the house and no sleep.

Of course I am ready!

bowtech721 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2010, 03:55:55 PM »

Just finishing up getting the bow totally dialed in for hunting but have been shooting alot and have a game plan for deer but elk is another story. either way ill be out there one way or another

wabearhunter · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2010, 04:54:50 PM »

started shooting a different way today, and my accuracy and consistency is way better. I'm fully ready!

sirchman · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2010, 12:32:50 PM »

I made a point to get more prepared than last season, I wanted to get in better shape and shoot more consistently. I lost eight pounds and am shooting a little better after i got contacts but in reality i should have lost 15 -20 pounds and should be shooting even better.

Does it go dead or numb? Do you or have you smoked? My fishing partner was suffering something like what you have described and found out he has P.A.D's. Also had small blood clots. Just something to look at I wish you the best.

Hope you overcome your falling syndrome before hunting season rasbo.

The elk are bugling,arrows are in quiver and bow is shooting bullets(slick tricks) out to 60yds.I am looking for the 3-20yd drooling,wide eyed bull with snot coming out his nose and I can smell his sweaty,urine soaked hide!!!

elkbuster · « **Reply #26 on:** August 30, 2010, 10:38:02 AM »

Just about packed up. Getting all gear together and tying up odds and ends for elk camp. The only season to me is elk season.

flashover52 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 30, 2010, 09:06:41 PM »

Still trying to assemble a game plan --- partners switched away from archery this year and no horses to bring my butt into the wilderness area --- have a multi-tag and still trying to decide whether to stick closer by on the west side (can round up a packing partner easier) or go to the east side and try somewhere completely new where I'd be my own packing mule.

Gotta be home for the 8th and the 13th to watch the kids; so that totally goofs up trying to make a long healthy trip to the east side. Do I bring the 30' trailer, the mtn. bike and bike trailer with bivy/tarp or the 12x12 spike tent --- or all of them?? Too many damn decisions to make but will probably be flying lighter than normal.

I'm sure something will come together....

Wa hunter · « **Reply #32 on:** August 30, 2010, 09:11:38 PM »

I must be forgetting something there is still room in the truck.

mulehunter · « **Reply #33 on:** August 30, 2010, 09:28:03 PM »

Can I have one! Please. I am ready!

Little Dave · « **Reply #34 on:** August 30, 2010, 11:28:30 PM »

Ready.

One of the flashlights has a short though. Switch fused next to the Made in China sticker. Can still turn it on/off by removing the battery. Close enough.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #35 on:** August 30, 2010, 11:48:42 PM »

Shootin everyday and feeling amazing with my chances at a big bull.

Oneshot1Kill · « **Reply #36 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:46:42 AM »

No i ain't ready! Shootin my recurve and split my 2nd to last arrow which destroyed my last arrows tip and broke the shaft!

But no worries, took out the compound and put 5 arrows in a 5 inch grouping at 30-35 yds.

Not my usual tight groupings but I gotta wait till the weekend anyways to go do some killing.

EastWaViking · « **Reply #37 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:52:56 AM »

never been less ready, didn't get as much practice in as I'd like, but I'm shooting good groups. Gotta dig out the camo and wash it tonight, and switch from summer mode to hunting mode. Good luck everyone.

Fullabull · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2010, 03:15:49 PM »

The bows are all ready. For everything else, i'll know once I get there and discover whatever I forgot. Then just go get it when we have the time

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2010, 03:56:15 PM »

just got the rest of my hunting gear out and going thru it now.
time to wash everything in some silver xp.

Why is it, when you planned every thing out to go hunting and Your Wife decides to fill your ( or her voids ) with a honey do list, and you must be the one to change your plans? Good luck, I'll be ready to hit the tail end of the Elk and Deer week starting on Monday! WOW!
