We head up after shift...0800 on the 5th.  Hopefully have 3 Elk down by friday and easy camping until the 20th!  8)

I'll hunt locally for blacktails a day or two before elk and then hunt elk from opening until the 12th then I have to be back at work. :'(  We always make a trip for opening elk early and again late if needed.

Hopefully we will have a bull down by the end of the 3 day weekend so I can save some vacation time for later.

My huntin partner is already at elk camp this weekend. One more week of work, then I'm off to the Lewis river unit on the 4th Sept. Seen two 330-350 class bulls last week on a scouting trip. Last year we brought out a 374" bull on the opener. These last several days are going by slowwww!!!!!!

Good luck everyone!!!

Trailers are setup... blinds and stands are up,  trailcams have been out for months and cards pulled twice (once for me Matt!)  and I have packed and re-packed at least 3 times now.... Is it Thursday yet?  I am leaving Thursday after work.... got a few big bucks to try to sneak up on for the first few days and hopefully tag one of them.  Also chase a few bears around up above our elk areas... Heck might even get a chance to take pics of some goats!  Of course if they are down hanging around Matt's tree stand (like the pics show in his thread) then I will never see them...
