3 months or 92 days until Archery Elk opens

[dreamingbig]

Are you ready?!?    These last 3 months usually fly by for me.  I still need to get a few things dialed in (bow string reserved, broadheads dialed in) but I have been shooting almost daily and putting in the miles on the road.  I love this time of year!

It will get better when I can get out and start scouting.

[D-Rock425]

I'm always ready.   Can't really start scouting until draw results are out

[pianoman9701]

can't scout until at least mid-July when the roads open up from snow.

Is that all! 92 days and I'm counting!  Can't wait.

35 days from today until the opener for archery elk; 37 painful days until I hit the road for elk camp.  To make the wait a little easier I am headed on a scouting trip Fri - Sun.  It will be 30 days to the opener from Sunday.  What better way to spend the time than in the backcountry looking around?

Yep, 37 days and just lost my hunting partner. Gonna be a lonely camp for the second time in three years.

Im heading out on the 2nd of September.

Im heading out on the 2nd of September.

Heading up on Sept 1st, Can't wait. Be up there for two weeks unless we tag out which never happens.
7 of us in camp this year.
Going to be a great time.

Stick one, D-Rock! You got the stuff, baby.

if i can get it done this year it will be 8 elk in a 10 year span all Washington.

How do you all get the time off of work and from family? 

I can only swing 6 or 7 vacation days and thus I am maximizing my time by missing the first 3 days of the season to hunt the last 10.  I wish I could be there on the 4th! And 5th and 6th...

Going out this weekend and set another stand (already have one up).  Plus, scout up a big 6x7 bull we saw before leaving last time.   Going to be 4 to 6 of us in elk camp this year (and I'm the only one w/Bull tag)    Can't wait!!!

[D-Rock425]

Elk camp is my families vacation.  I have 3 weeks vacation now at work and all of them are used for hunting.
