Title: Is it September yet……???
Post by: xX Let ER Rip Xx on February 26, 2022, 10:34:45 PM: Come on and hurry up and get here…….! I am already having trouble sleeping thinking about those rutted up bulls and September archery hunting them. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way……lol

Post by: MIKEXRAY on February 27, 2022, 06:18:20 AM: I don't get that excited anymore, spike bull only and low draw odds on the East side dampens my mood. I'm only thinking about it occasionally lol. Good luck and have a great hunting season 👍.

Those spikes sure are tasty, but yea hard to get excited for us nonnative east side guys that will probably never draw a big bull tag in our lifetime.

Can't wait to hunt MT twice this year.

That whole process gives me the buck fever.
Selected or not selected that is the question.🤔

Wow! You must have drawn a great out of state non-resident tag! Washington elk hunting is nothing to loose sleep over anymore. I remember the days when it was. Probably wont see that again in my lifetime!

Post by: Stein on March 01, 2022, 03:30:02 PM: Many other states have elk hunting. They all have September too!

Post by: vandeman17 on March 01, 2022, 04:02:08 PM: I can say that I am more motivated this year for elk season than I have been in a long time. Many nights these last two months or so laying in bed have been plotting and planning in my mind
