Title: how much time do you need ?
Post by: coachcw on April 09, 2013, 06:25:21 AM
I'm gonna play
devils advocaite here a bit . I see people saying that they drew multi season elk tags and now it's time to buy gear and get ready . Do you guys feel like thats enough time to be prepaired and profishant ? I'm under the impression thats a bit rushed and may lead to poor choices in the woods what do you think ?

Well I suppose if you dont have a bow, never shot one yet, and dont have or never shot a ML then you better have allot of time off to practice IMO. 

I think 5 months is enough time to do it. But you better hit it hard and already know were your going to hunt and approach each weapons capibilities.

Personally I have all three weapons and have shot and hunted all three. Its my opinion this should be a personal requsite to putting in for a Multi.

If not, like I said above, you better have lots of time and a good source of income for this season.

:yeah:

I'd rather someone get their gear now and start practicing now than to see what I see every year at Wal Mart and Cabelas where guys show up the night before modern season starts wanting to buy a new deer rifle and get it bore sighted and figure that's good enough :bash:

I see it every year on the range people show up a month before hunting season with a bow from a pawn shop and say they're bow hunting for the first time  :bash:

If you have hunted all three, I imagine less time would be required to prepare.  Even better if you have taken an animal with all three!  As to the OP, tough question.  If you have hunted with a bow for a few seasons, I imagine getting ready for ML and modern wouldn't take as much time as would be necessary if you reversed the process, ie hunted with a modern rifle but never ML or bow.
