I'm getting excited for the opener in 2 days!!!.Hope everyone is practicing and getting ready. Thought I would start a positve thread about hunting because it seems all I've been seeing is negative after negative threads about politics or the world ending. Anyways who's excited? We get only a short season each year then when it's over we drag all year till the season starts again.
-
I for one am very excited. Drew a bull tag with my dad and uncle. It is about all I think about. Wife is ready too so I can concentrate on something else :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
My season starts aug 27 so it's right around the corner. So close yet so far away.
-
Time to start my homework :bfg:
-
I have off all of early archery that snyear, looking forward to it, last year got to hunt 4 days total.

Oregon again? I don't think I am going this year sadly enough. Drew a decent tag here and our season don't match up well. I might make it down there for the first 6 days, but not likely.

Yes this year I drew the tag that my dad drew last year. The knowledge we gained will hopefully increase my odds this fall.

I think all our hot weather is coming right when it opens, and boy will that be miserable to hunt in. :chuckle:

Waiting on modern Elk season to open up and 3 cow tags. Gathering info for the scouting trips then the season to start. Hoping and praying for early snow up high!
-
Can't wait! Getting excited...thanks for starting the positive thread :)

Gear lists, equipment reviews, working out, practicing, scouting, elk hunting videos and podcasts. elk hunting fever has its hold on me bad!

It's a great feeling. Like a junkie with his fix.
-
Not to rain on your parade, but it opens 61 days from today. :chuckle:
Got my permit in the mail today, going to check trail cameras next Friday. Can't wait! :IBCOOL:
-
I get more excited everyday for that fateful Saturday in September. The call to the wild or close to it is in my thoughts daily.
-
We had the maps out last weekend looking over the unit I'm hunting in MT. Will be leaving on the first of sept, scouting the area and getting up camp the day before and hunting the 3rd-13th.
Washington is all yours this year, I already have WA tags but don't think I'll hunt it much for myself due to time constraints.
-
44 days!
-
It gets tougher each day to focus on work! Can't wait to get out there each year.

Can't wait just working out and shooting. Hope everyone is preparing and good luck to all :)

Heard cows talkin' out in the Willipa Hills a few days ago while pulling cards on cams. It had been so long since I'd heard them that it surprised me.

Crazy that hunting season will begin in a little over three weeks for me. I am ready!

Anticipation is killing me. Best part is knowing that between now and the first week of October I will be gone for close to three weeks of elk hunting. Boy do I need it!

I'm eating a ton and not working out.
I firmly believe it is best to save your calories and energy so you have an abundance.
When the time comes I will open the can of whoop a$$!!

Don't forget to get that extra sleep stored up!!! Two hour naps are a minimum :tup:

I cannot wait, I have been busting my butt getting ready! I am lucky enough to have too much private access the butts up to public land. Plus I have the whole season off, this will be a year to remember!

Less than 2 weeks.

Just got back from Idaho. We went one outta two. Spike at 84 meters.... Opening morning ten minutes into season, center punched his heart quartered towards. TRUMP 2016!!!!!
-
Nice spike diy!!

-

-
92 yards quartered towards that good shooting.

Yes it was :chuckle: when I released I was actually dead center on his sternum, anticipating his left shoulder to present a target by the time my arrow got there.... When I released I thought "what a idiot!" Seen my arrow high right way over him......... Then smack, right in the heart. He hardly made it out of sight and crashed. Second big game animal I've killed at 84. First bull. Leaving in a few hours to find a coastal five point beast to shoot at five yards.... Maybe ten if he holds up. :chuckle: good luck to all this year!!! :tup:
-
84 meters are you canadian :dunno:
No I just set my range finder to meters. Makes 92 yards not seem as far. Just a lil ol 84 meter chipper d rock geez... :chuckle:
