Post by: stickbuck on August 02, 2012, 10:37:17 AM: Second. Last week always has better rut activity. Plus, alot of guys burn out after the first week and bail, which helps with the pressure. It was even more noticeable when the season was the 8th-21st.

Hey bucknbull, I think your referring to the wrong season. Shooting AT an elk doesn't count. Finding it and putting a tag on it is a different story. :dunno: Our Sept. 7th-16th trip will be here before we know it. I can't believe it's only a month away. At least I won't be having to put a fuel pump in the pickup on this year's trip. At least I hope I don't have to. :chuckle:
