Post by: bowhuntersd on September 09, 2013, 03:56:05 PM: I only get a few days to hunt early season this year and it isn't even worth going. :bash: I have seen a few animals being taken but not what I have seen in the past few years. This weather has them all shut down it seems like.

Last year muzzy season 70 + every day. No fires, no wood stoves few elk.

Post by: dreamingbig on September 11, 2013, 09:24:54 AM: I was into them on Sunday and they bugled from 3pm on. Never shut up. I saw the herd bull :yike: but no tag. :'( Settled for a spike on the outside of the herd. Keep at it. Moon is starting to get full!

Post by: bobcat on September 11, 2013, 09:40:20 AM: I would have had much better luck if the season had started a week earlier. But then I'm not counting on bugling bulls to make my hunt successful. I needed them to stick to their summertime feeding patterns. But they did not- the season opened three days too late! :bash:
