Need to know specie and weapon your using as dates would dramatically vary
LOL, I skipped that part. Archery, whitetail.
I have a cam check coming up and if no mature bucks, I'll just scout more. I'll skip early opener if that's the case and hunt Nov/Dec.

If you got a target buck patterned I’d hunt sept 1-5, if not and you are in 101. Nov 19-29. Other units Nov 25-Dec 5 or the last week of season if using bait.
No target buck yet. If nothing mature next week when I check cams I'll pass on the early opener and hit it in Nov/Dec and just hunt the entire month of Sept for elk here.. I'm not limited in hunting days, I was just curious in what people preferred. The down side to me hunting late season is since it's my first year there I'm not sure which spots I have scouted will actually accessible but I figure a couple seasons to figure things out.

definite issue in the unit you are hunting is snow. We learned a long time ago to not summer scout too far from main plowed roads, due to the fact you are not getting in. Unless you got tracks or a sled

Passed on early season archery deer. Killed a 5x4 roosie bull here in Oregon to send my buddy home with 1/2 elk. Had it not been for being nice, I'd have given him a pass. I think my favorite two spots will be accessible but there, I'll find out I guess lol. If not, I'll scout mid Nov and regroup for a December hunt. Even If I manage a buck in November, I'm headed back in December for a 5 day period to finalize my future preferred dates. Gonna make it an annual trip.
