“90 Days and Counting…”
« on: June 10, 2011, 03:27:40 PM »
  Tick, tick, tick……… For some of us, that’s the sound of time slipping away for elk season preparation. Others may say; Ah we’ve got lots of time….. Almost three whole months before season starts! Which one are you?
Regardless if your an over-achiever or procrastinator, the count down has begun. I always feel when June first rolls around there is an imaginary hour glass that’s just been flipped over, and now I’m being timed to get my act together before the opener. The next 90 days will be put into fast forward, increasingly so, into the last few weeks of August. Being very far from perfect, I like to prepare for elk season by doing the following rituals. Crunch time starts now!

That article is a good reminder/wake up call for all of us at this time of year.  I have been insanely busy with work over the last four months including my weekends.  This weekend I've got to get my garage organized and take stock of all my gear for this coming season.

Thanks everyone! Just like some of you already said, I am ready to go hunting again as soon as season is over! But the next three months are real enjoyable since the weather is usually  better than winter and I can put my preparations into overdrive.
