I am hoping to have some pics and meat to show too, but I am hoping to avoid the soreness. At my age it is getting harder to do for some reason.........

Ya, thats why I am heading in early...wanna try to bag a bear and maybe a yote or two...

Girlfriend is like "You cant even hunt elk till monday!"...

My response..."Ya, but I got bear, yotes, grouse, bobcats, etc"..

Post by: jackelope on September 04, 2008, 09:58:51 PM: i am about to embark on my first archery hunt ever but can't go till the 17th. hopefully all the elk won't be blown into the next state by the time i get there...aside from that, feeling like everything is set in place...we scouted, located some critters, have a camp spot in mind, etc...just need the elk to cooperate. good luck to all you guys.

Post by: X-Force on September 04, 2008, 11:08:58 PM: I have been a silent member on this site for a year now an i haven't been able to log off(even though half the time I'm not logged in :P). I wish i could say I'm going to be trotting through the woods with you in a couple days but my university is 2400 miles away. I'm excited and anxious for all of you and i cant wait to see the pictures and hear the tales of another great elk season. Everyone Good luck, be safe, and take lots of pictures.

Post by: wastickslinger on September 04, 2008, 11:31:10 PM: A week from tonight MuleySniper will be packing my bull out for me. :chuckle: We are going to sneak away for a quick 3 dayer. Might get lucky. It will be better than honey-doos at home thats for sure. Even a long weekend hunt with a good buddy is a good weekend. Now if I could just find a good buddy :chuckle: Just kidding Sniper. I get first crack this year though. Friday the 12th is my birthday so you better let me shoot one first.

Good luck to all. Take lots of pictures.

Post by: dirty.dan4 on September 05, 2008, 05:37:58 AM: Im leaving in about 4 hours for my first archery season. Too excited to sleep, and when I do sleep, I hear bugles and bleats. Oh well, better than dreaming about work. Good Luck. :drool:
Title: Re: Archery Elk...here we come!
Post by: DeKuma on September 05, 2008, 06:56:45 AM: Hell, I have that sight issue sometime when shooting spots. Like I go into auto-pilot and shoot the 30 pin instead of the 20....... Switched to a single pin slider, but then I have to remember to slide the pin up or down. Just too much for my feebile mind......

Good Luck everyone! Looks like I may have to hold off until the late season for my elk.
