Title: Archery Elk is Over
Post by: pianoman9701 on September 20, 2012, 02:25:01 PM: I wait all year for this and it's done. I'm wicked bummed out. No meat but granted, a nice 10-day vacation. I want to go back into the woods and disappear. How about you guys? Are you ready for the season to be over already?

Post by: asl20bball on September 20, 2012, 02:40:12 PM: There are 2 problems with elk season:
1) Its too short
2) It makes deer season not as special as it used to be for me before I fell in love with elk hunting.

depressed & bummed about sums it up for me. Late season is just not the same. Oh well, it will just burn my passion to prepare for next year all the more.

Nothing to look forward too for another couple of months. I am soo ready for late season. Hopefully I can get out and help some others muzzy and riffle season before I can hunt again.
